2021 Map of Sitka C-1 SW

About this map

Admiralty Island dominates this 2021 survey, where the interior wilderness is defined by the high peaks of Yellow Bear Mtn and Botany Peak. This landscape within the Tongass National Forest is characterized by a dense network of high-altitude drainages and marshy basins. The center of the quadrangle is marked by Jims Lake, which serves as a significant hydrological collector for Jims Creek and other unnamed tributaries flowing through the central valley. To the northeast, the Hasselborg Cr winds through the hills, while the eastern edge is defined by the steep descent toward the Mole River. The map provides a precise look at the township and range lines across this roadless terrain, showing the rugged topography that has historically isolated these interior sections of the island.
