2017 Map of Sitka C-5 NE

About this map

Chichagof Island serves as the foundation for this 2017 topographic study, dominated by the expansive Tongass National Forest. The landscape is defined by the shoreline of Crab Bay to the north, where the tidal waters meet the densely forested interior. Moving inland, the terrain ascends toward Finger Mtn, illustrating the dramatic elevation changes characteristic of this portion of the Alexander Archipelago. This survey records the undeveloped character of the region during the early 21st century, showing no established roads or settlements within the quadrangle. The map is primarily a record of natural hydrology and forestry boundaries, providing a clear view of the wilderness before any modern infrastructure altered these specific coastal reaches.
