2017 Map of Taku River A-6 SW

About this map

Tongass National Forest dominates this coastal Alaska landscape, where the high summits of the Coast Mountains meet the waters of the Gulf of Alaska. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, rising from the tidal waters of Stephens Passage to prominent heights such as Steeple Peak and Arthur Peak. A notable geographical feature is the narrow Limestone Inlet, which carves into the shoreline beneath the steep Limestone Bluffs. This area, situated near the boundary of Juneau Borough, illustrates a wilderness largely untouched by modern road infrastructure, relying instead on waterways like Limestone Cr and Prospect Cr for natural navigation. Researchers of maritime history and topographic evolution can trace the complex shoreline where glacial valleys meet the sea, while prominent landmarks like Everett Peak and Fillmore Peak serve as primary navigational anchors for the region.
