2021 Map of Sitka D-4 NE

About this map

Freshwater Bay dominates this coastal survey, where the saltwater inlet meets the managed timberlands of the Tongass National Forest. The map documents a complex network of forest access routes, including Seal Creek Spur 1 and Seal Creek 3, which reflect the region's legacy of industrial forest management. Along the shoreline, navigational markers and geographical features like Heidi Rock and the Redcliff Islands—comprising both West Redcliff Island and East Redcliff Island—define the maritime approach. High-elevation landmarks such as Sonya Kay Ridge separate various drainages, including Iyouktug Cr and Wukuklook Cr, which flow toward the Gulf of Alaska. This detailed 2021 update captures the modern state of the wilderness infrastructure, from the tidal flats of Kennel Cr to the named spurs and valleys that characterize this corner of the Chichagof Island landscape.
