2024 Map of Sitka C-3 SE

About this map

Chatham Strait and the Gulf of Alaska dominate this maritime landscape where the waters of the Inside Passage meet the open sea. This 2024 topographic survey captures the rugged coastline of Admiralty Island, much of which is protected within the Admiralty Island National Monument and the Kootznoowoo Wilderness. The boundary between Sitka and the Hoonah-Angoon Census Area runs through these waters, illustrating the complex jurisdictional divisions of Southeast Alaska. On land, the map highlights topographical markers such as Parker Point and Peninsular Point, both situated within the sprawling Tongass National Forest. This modern record is an essential tool for understanding current conservation boundaries and coastal geography in a region defined by its isolation and maritime economy.
