2021 Map of Sitka D-1 SE

About this map

Seymour Canal dominates this coastal Alaska landscape, carving through the dense timberlands of the Tongass National Forest. Located within the Hoonah-Angoon Census Area, the map detail focuses on the complex shoreline and mountainous interior of the Alexander Archipelago. Significant marine features include the sheltered waters of Winning Cove and the narrow inlet of Short Finger Bay. Inland, the topography is defined by prominent elevations such as Randolph Peak and Morse Peak, which rise sharply from the water’s edge. This 2021 survey illustrates the intricate relationship between the coastal islands, including Tiedeman Island, Faust Island, and Dorn Island, and the deep tidal channels that define this region. The absence of roads or settlements emphasizes the wilderness character of the National Forest, where navigation is primarily reliant on the waterways of the canal.
