The Southeast Alaska Watershed Coalition has created a variety of geospatial mapping products publicly available through ArcGIS online. These products include stand alone data layers, web maps, mapping applications, and story maps.

Story Maps
This story map highlight’s SAWC’s 2022 field season. To restore salmon watersheds, SAWC and the U.S. Forest Service have trained tribal work crews to implement stream restoration projects.
This story map was created to support SAWC’s 2022 America the Beautiful grant proposal and shows a variety of projects we hope to complete around Southeast Alaska. All of the projects highlighted are high on SAWC’s priority list for more assessment work and to continue restoration work that has already begun.
In 2018, the U.S. Forest Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and SAWC teamed up to remove a fish ladder and undersized culvert at the mouth of Juneau’s Picnic Creek. The project improved access to about a mile of stream habitat for pink salmon and other species. With the ladder gone, fish returned to the stream in 2021.
Local Scale Tools
In the field, we use iPads with interactive, offline maps that allow our partners to collect data. Check out our Field Maps page for more information.
In 2021, the City and Borough of Juneau asked SAWC to produce a map to facilitate discussion for improvements being made to the Montana Creek Area in Juneau. The interactive mapper is designed to give the public a more complete picture of the environment within the Montana Creek Planning area.
This online web-mapping application was created for the landowners of Klawock.
Regional Scale Tools
This map is a one-stop-shop for watershed related layers in Southeast Alaska, and provides stream-restoration potential analysis done by SAWC staff. Mapper contains a variety of layers from different data providers including: Alaska Department of Fish and Game, the U.S Forest Service, Alaska Department of Natural Resources, and others. Analysis was performed by SAWC staff. Learn more about the mapper here.
This intuitive application provides the same data as the web mapper, presented in an easy-to-use online application. Zoom to your region of interest, toggle off and on layers, measure areas on the fly, download selected points to your local machine, and more.
