2017 Map of Sumdum A-4 NE

About this map

The Farragut River winds through the heart of the Tongass National Forest, carving a wide glacial valley through the formidable Coast Mountains. This 2017 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey captures the intricate drainage patterns and expansive ice fields that characterize the Petersburg Borough wilderness. High-altitude landmarks such as Lincoln Peak and Grant Peak define the northern skyline, while the southern reaches are anchored by the Franklin Peaks. The map provides a precise view of the braided river channels and the sheer verticality of Stanton Peak, illustrating the scale of the Alaskan landscape before it meets the coastal inlets. Researchers can trace the complex network of unnamed streams and seasonal runoffs that feed into the primary river system, reflecting the untouched character of this federal forest land.
