2021 Map of Yakutat C-5 NE

About this map

Knight Island and its smaller neighbors, Nees Island and Tla-xagh Island, dominate this coastal stretch of the Tongass National Forest. The landscape is defined by the transition from the marine waters of the Pacific to the rising peaks of the Saint Elias Mountains, including Mt Hoorts in the northeast. Navigation and geography are marked by prominent coastal features such as Punta de Pineda and Kooisk Point, which frame the entrance to Humpback Cove. Further inland, the hydrology includes Lake Redfield and the W Fork Situk River, indicating the complex drainage patterns common to this glaciated region. Smaller islands like Kruvoi Island, Otmeloi Island, and Kriwoi Island dot the near-shore waters, illustrating the fragmented coastline of the Yakutat City and Borough area.
