2017 Map of Sumdum C-5 NW

About this map

Stephens Passage meets the coastline of the Tongass National Forest in this coastal Alaskan terrain, where glacial waterways and landforms dominate the geography. The western shoreline is marked by the prominent Point Astley, while the northern waters of Holkham Bay and Endicott Arm create a complex maritime boundary. This 2017 edition illustrates the transition between deep coastal waters and the steep, forested elevations of the interior. Notable features like Wood Spit and Sand Spit provide insight into the sediment movement along these tidal zones. The map serves as a record of this wilderness area within the Petersburg Borough, defined by its lack of roads and its preservation of the natural shoreline at the edge of the Pacific.
