2021 Map of Sitka D-1 NW

About this map

Swan Island dominates the central waters of this Alaskan coastal survey, situated within the expansive reach of the Tongass National Forest. The landscape is defined by its maritime geography, where isolated landforms like Windfall Island and the prominent southern tip of Late Point punctuate the surrounding inlets. On the mainland to the west, the drainage of Pack Cr flows through the dense timber, accompanied by the Pack Creek Trl which provides a rare inland path through the wilderness. This map reveals a terrain where the boundary between temperate rainforest and the Pacific is absolute, showing the sparse but vital infrastructure of the United States Forest Service in the region.
