2017 Map of Taku River A-5 SE

About this map

Coast Mountains terrain dominates this remote section of the Tongass National Forest, where steep ridgelines and deep glacial valleys define the landscape of Southeast Alaska. The Whiting River carves a path through the northwestern corner of the quadrangle, serving as the primary drainage for the surrounding peaks. This 2017 survey details the complex topography along the boundary between the Juneau Borough Hoonah-Angoon Census Area, capturing a wilderness devoid of modern infrastructure or permanent settlements. The map provides a precise look at the natural drainage patterns and elevation shifts that characterize this portion of the Alaskan panhandle, offering essential data for understanding the physical geography of the high latitudes.
