2017 Map of Sitka C-5 NW

About this map

Tongass National Forest dominates the coastal wilderness shown in this 2017 survey, where the intricate maritime landscape of Southeast Alaska is defined by steep, timbered ridges and deep glacial waters. The chart centers on the confluence of the North Arm Hoonah Sound and the main body of Hoonah Sound, capturing the remote shoreline at a moment of modern topographic precision. Significant navigational landmarks include the prominent Pedersen Point and the southern reach of Moser Island. To the south, the map extends toward White Cliff Point and the entrance of the South Arm Hoonah Sound. This data provides a detailed look at the island-and-inlet geography, tracing the Public Land Survey System grids across mountainous terrain where few human structures exist, emphasizing the preserved character of the Alaskan panhandle.
