CENTRAL / SOUTHERN
SOUTHEAST AREA PLAN
Adopted
November 2000
The
Commissioner of the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) adopted
the Central/Southern Southeast Area Plan in November 2000. The
adoption of this plan establishes management policies for approximately
3 million acres of state owned and state selected uplands, as well
as tidelands, submerged and shorelands within the planning boundary
as depicted on Map 1-1 (link to map). The area extends from the
southern boundary of the City and Borough of Juneau at Tracy Arm
in the north to Portland Inlet on the south, adjacent to Canada.
The western boundary is formed by Clarence and Sumner Straits and
includes Kuiu Island. The eastern extent of the planning area is
delineated by the Canadian border.
This
plan documents the manner in which the state intends to manage
lands over the long term. The area is rich in natural resources
and this plan will help ensure that state resource management takes
into account the sustained yield of renewable resources and that
there is a balance between development and environmental concerns.
This plan also ensures and that public access to state lands is
maintained.
The
Central/Southern Southeast Area Plan is the product of over two
years of work by State and Federal agencies, other land owners
in the area, local governments, special interest groups as well
as the public. Public input was solicited during two rounds of
public meetings held in Ketchikan Petersburg and Wrangell. Information
and comments gathered throughout the process were used to develop
the final plan.
Below
are the links to the different parts of the plan. Because of the
size of the plan separate .pdfs were created for the various divisions
of the text. Black and white subdivision maps and resource allocation
tables are included within the text portion of the two regions.
Note:
Due to the size of color map files, and to allow for faster downloading,
color maps have all been given separate links. The text files contain
pages labeled with the map names in place of the color map. This
was done to keep page numbering consistent and to indicate where
the maps fit into the text.
