2024 Map of Sumdum A-2 SW

About this map

Tongass National Forest dominates this Alaskan landscape, characterized by the dramatic elevation changes of the Cosmos Range and the Admiral Range. The topography is defined by narrow valley corridors where Scenery Creek and Cascade Creek drain the surrounding heights. A prominent feature is Scenery Lake, which sits at the head of a drainage system carved through the high ridges. This map reveals a largely roadless wilderness where natural hydrology and high-relief terrain dictate the movement of water and the structure of the forest. The sparse naming of features emphasizes the isolation of these peaks and the primary role of the glacial-carved valleys in defining the region's geography within the southeastern Alaskan panhandle.
