2021 Map of Yakutat A-3 NE

About this map

The Akwe River meanders through a complex network of wetlands and tidal flats as it approaches the coast in the Tongass National Forest. This 2021 survey illustrates the shifting relationship between the river and the sea, separated by the prominent Akwe Spit. The landscape is defined by the absence of permanent human settlement, dominated instead by the natural transition from the forest interior to the expansive Gulf of Alaska. The presence of the Alaska Department of Transportation and Forest Service data indicates the ongoing management of this remote coastal stretch within the Yakutat City and Borough. The map provides a precise look at the township and range boundaries including t31s r39e and t31s r40e, which are essential for understanding land divisions in this part of Alaska.
