How to Use This Hydaburg, Alaska Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Hydaburg, 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 Hydaburg.
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.

About Hydaburg, Alaska

ZIP code: 99922.Hydaburg emerges from the dense, verdant expanse of the Tongass National Forest as a settlement defined by the persistent, rhythmic flow of the Hydaburg River. It lies 222.1 miles south-southeast of Juneau, AK (from Juneau, AK: bearing 164°T), and is situated 47.4 miles west of Ketchikan. This inland environment is characterized by a sprawling, ancient woodland where the canopy filters the subarctic light into long, thin shafts of gold that illuminate the moss-covered floor. Six miles to the northeast, the quiet waters of Eek Lake reflect the shifting clouds, while the distant, rugged silhouette of Fortaleza Ridge anchors the horizon in a jagged line of stone. The air here holds a distinct, heavy dampness, carrying the scent of damp hemlock and cedar, creating an atmosphere of profound stillness that seems to expand with the scale of the surrounding wilderness.
Hydaburg serves as a center of Haida culture, its identity deeply rooted in the preservation of heritage and the mastery of intricate wood carving. The local economy and daily life move in accordance with the seasonal cycles of the forest, drawing upon the land for sustenance and artistic expression. Development in the region is shaped by the proximity of Jumbo Basin, where the topography shifts from lower, timbered plains to higher, steep-walled elevations. Residents maintain a steady, purposeful pace, often occupied with the careful stewardship of the surrounding timberlands and the continuation of traditional practices that have defined the character of the inhabitants for generations.

Detailed location data for Hydaburg includes the ZIP code (99922), telephone area code (907), county seat of Prince of Wales-Hyder, and school district assignment (Hydaburg City School District).
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.
