2017 Map of Sitka C-1 SW

About this map

Admiralty Island dominates this landscape within the Tongass National Forest, showing a wilderness shaped by complex hydrography and significant elevation. The map center is defined by Jims Lake and the drainage of Jims Cr, which transition into a high alpine environment to the east. Here, Yellow Bear Mtn and Botany Peak rise sharply, providing a clear view of the topographical relief and glacial-carved valleys typical of Southeast Alaska. To the north and west, the flow of Hasselborg Cr and the Mole River delineate the lowland drainage patterns that support the region's dense temperate rainforest. The absence of roads or permanent settlements emphasizes the character of this protected forest land as it appeared during the 2017 survey.
