2021 Map of Taku River B-6 SW

About this map

Tongass National Forest dominates this coastal landscape where steep elevations meet the glacial waters of the Alaska Panhandle. The map reveals a dramatic transition from the tidal shoreline of Taku Inlet to the high-altitude basins containing Lake Dorothy and the elongated Turner Lake. The topography is defined by significant vertical relief, with the glacial runoff of Davidson Cr and Turner Creek carving deep drainages through the protected forest lands. At Davidson Point, the terrain drops sharply into the inlet, marking a prominent navigational landmark for the maritime approaches to the interior. This survey provides a precise record of the shoreline and hydrography in a region where the wilderness remains largely roadless, governed by the natural contours of the fjords and mountain lakes.
