How to Use This Edna Bay, Alaska Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Edna Bay, Alaska. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Alaska or beyond.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).
TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Edna Bay.
Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

ZIP code: 99921.Edna Bay occupies a rugged expanse of dense, ancient woodland where the air holds a persistent, cooling dampness that clings to the moss-covered trunks of towering conifers. It lies 165.0 miles south of Juneau, AK (from Juneau, AK: bearing 170°T), and is situated 99.3 miles southeast of Sitka. The landscape here is defined by the immense, shadowed reach of the Tongass National Forest, which blankets the terrain in a thick carpet of emerald and bronze. Only a mile away, the persistent, clear rush of Charley Creek cuts through the undergrowth, its movement providing a constant, low-frequency hum against the stillness of the woods. To the distance, the jagged, imposing silhouette of Derrumba Ridge rises against the horizon, marking the boundary of a wilderness that seems to stretch toward an infinite, quiet interior.
Edna Bay sustains itself through a quiet, deliberate connection to the surrounding timber and the rhythms of the deep forest, far removed from the bustle of the world beyond the trees. Life in Edna Bay moves with the deliberate pace of the seasons, where the primary labor involves the careful management of the land’s resources and the maintenance of paths that lead toward the solitude of Mint Lake. History here is written in the silence of the timber stands and the enduring survival of those who choose to live amidst such vast, untamed foliage. As dusk settles, a soft, subarctic light filters through the canopy, casting long, lean shadows that make the wilderness feel as if it is breathing in unison with those who call this place home.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
