2021 Map of Sumdum B-5 SE

About this map

Port Houghton dominates the central landscape of this Southeast Alaska coastal region, where tidal waters meet the steep elevations of the Tongass National Forest. The map provides a detailed look at the interface between the marine and mountainous environments, including the distinct formations of The Haystack and the lower reaches of the Fanshaw Range. These features reflect the complex glacially-carved topography typical of the Alexander Archipelago. Coastal navigation and local geography are further detailed through named points and inlets such as Russian Cove and the small landmasses of Robert Island and Crow Island. The drainage of Negro Cr illustrates the typical short, high-gradient watercourses that characterize this wilderness area, flowing from the high timberline directly into the sea.
