2021 Map of Sitka C-6 SW

USGS Topo · Published 2021

About this map

Tongass National Forest dominates this coastal landscape where the Gulf of Alaska meets the intricately carved shoreline of Chichagof Island. The geography is defined by narrow inlets and protective peninsulas, such as the Takeena Peninsula and Khaz Peninsula, which create sheltered waters like Rocky Bay and Falcon Arm. Inland, the terrain rises sharply toward Flat Top Mtn and Khaz Peak, with freshwater features like Waterfall Lake draining into the saltwater of Waterfall Cove. The mapping of these deep inlets and offshore markers like Channel Island and Round Point highlights a maritime environment where water access dictates movement. This survey reflects the complex interface of old-growth forest and the Pacific, providing a precise record of the natural harbors and topographic peaks that characterize this part of the Sitka City and Borough.
