2021 Map of Sumdum A-5 NE

About this map

Tongass National Forest dominates this coastal Alaskan landscape, where the Coast Mountains meet the waters of Southeast Alaska. This 2021 survey reveals a dramatic vertical geography defined by the Fanshaw Range and several prominent summits, including Mt Fanshaw and the sharply rising Dahlgren Peak to the northeast. The shoreline is punctuated by Point Highland, while the interior is carved by drainages such as Negro Cr. Mapping this region requires careful attention to the complex topography that transitions from the tide line to high-altitude landmarks like Man-of-War Peak and Jamestown Peak. The area represents a pristine intersection of maritime influence and glacial-carved mountain terrain, providing a contemporary record of one of the most remote stretches of the American Pacific Northwest.
