2017 Map of Sitka D-5 SE

About this map

Tongass National Forest dominates the coastal landscape of this Chichagof Island quadrangle, where steep forested slopes meet the cold waters of Southeast Alaska. The central geography is defined by the expanse of Tenakee Inlet, a critical waterway that separates the northern and southern landmasses shown here. Along the southern shore, Saltery Bay provides a protected indentation in the coastline, while the northern terrain is dissected by the Indian River. This 2017 survey reflects the enduring wilderness character of the region, emphasizing the maritime and glacial-carved topography that has shaped local navigation and resource use. The presence of Inbetween Creek and the administrative boundary of the Hoonah-Angoon Census Area Sitka Borough highlight the intersection of natural watersheds and modern jurisdictional lines in this remote coastal environment.
