2017 Map of Sitka D-1 SW

About this map

Tongass National Forest dominates this coastal landscape, where the Admiralty Island wilderness meets the North Pacific. The terrain is defined by steep elevation changes and intricate water features, most notably Windfall Harbor at the northern reach and the expansive Hasselborg Lake to the south. This area serves as a primary example of the undisturbed temperate rainforest ecosystems of Southeast Alaska. Coastal navigation is anchored by Staunch Point, which overlooks the Gulf of Alaska. The map's grid, including t46s r69e and t47s r69e, reveals a land largely devoid of modern development, preserving the natural drainage patterns and dense vegetation characteristic of the Alexander Archipelago.
