2017 Map of Sitka D-6 NW

About this map

Tongass National Forest dominates this coastal Alaskan landscape, where the boundary between the Hoonah-Angoon Census Area and the Sitka Borough cuts diagonally across the rugged terrain. This 2017 survey illustrates the complex topography of the Alexander Archipelago, showing the steep elevation changes and intricate drainage patterns characteristic of the region. The map captures the intersection of multiple survey townships, including t45s r59e, t45s r58e, t46s r58e, and t46s r59e, providing a precise look at the land division within the national forest. While primarily a wilderness study, the data reveals the natural contours and water systems that have historically dictated movement and land use throughout this part of Southeast Alaska.
