2017 Map of Yakutat B-5 NW

About this map

Cannon Beach and the edge of the Tongass National Forest meet the vast waters of the Gulf of Alaska in this remote coastal survey. The map records a distinct intersection of wilderness and localized activity near the mouth of Taiya Cr, where the northernmost corner of the map reveals a small cluster of named landmarks. Most notably, a Pet Cemetery is located along Beach Road, a site that offers a rare personal touch in an otherwise expansive and largely undeveloped landscape. The inclusion of the Dry Bay Canoe Trail highlights the traditional and recreational modes of travel that define this region, where land and water transit are deeply intertwined. This survey also serves to document the precise administrative boundary line between the Alaska Yakutat Borough and Yakutat - Juneau.
