THE PELICAN LAND BRIEF

Land in the
Coastal Western Hemlock-Sitka Spruce Forests setting.

Pelican city has 0.55 square miles of land in Hoonah-Angoon Census Area. Its Census reference point is in Coastal Western Hemlock-Sitka Spruce Forests.

Deep bays, steep valley walls and an irregular shoreline reveal intense past glaciation. Wet maritime forests of hemlock and Sitka spruce characterize southeastern and south-central coastal Alaska.

Pelican and Hoonah-Angoon Census Area

Pelican is associated with Hoonah-Angoon Census Area in the Census boundary data. Start with the parcel’s tax bill to match the property to that jurisdiction, then confirm which government handles its land use.

Hoonah-Angoon Census Area

Pelican by land and water

The Census records 0.07 square miles of water within Pelican, or 10.7% of its total area. It is 20.8 percentage points lower than the 31.6% recorded for Hoonah-Angoon Census Area. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.

For scale, Pelican city has 0.3% of the land area of nearby Elfin Cove CDP (168.4 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.

FROM LOCAL CONTEXT TO YOUR PARCEL

Three questions for
Pelican land.

These starting questions follow this location’s jurisdiction, regional setting, and nearby geography. The answers come from the property itself.

01

Locate the parcel within Pelican

Use a tax bill, deed, or assessor’s parcel number to pin down the land in Pelican. Check the Hoonah-Angoon Census Area geography against the actual property location.

02

Read the Coastal Western Hemlock-Sitka Spruce Forests setting

Coastal Western Hemlock-Sitka Spruce Forests. Does the property require marine or road access, and how do its survey and topographic records describe the shoreline and slopes?

03

Check the route, beyond Elfin Cove

Elfin Cove is 9.3 miles north of the Pelican reference point. That geographic proximity does not establish a drivable route or legal access. Which road reaches your land, and is the right to use it recorded?

QUESTIONS GROUNDED IN THIS PLACE

Your Pelican
land questions.

Have a tax bill, an inherited deed, or simply a map pin? Start with what you have.

What should I send for land in Pelican?+

Send the parcel number or legal description, approximate acreage, and a map pin showing the property in Hoonah-Angoon Census Area. Pelican’s 0.55 square miles of land include many different property situations; the exact parcel is what we review.

Is every Pelican property in Coastal Western Hemlock-Sitka Spruce Forests?+

No. Coastal Western Hemlock-Sitka Spruce Forests is the regional classification at the Census reference point. The Pelican boundary and individual properties can cross landscape transitions. Open the regional source and the topographic map, then locate the actual parcel before applying regional context.

Can I use Elfin Cove as a reference for my land?+

It can help explain the location: its Census point is about 9.3 miles north of Pelican’s. That distance is not a driving route, utility connection, or comparable-sale adjustment. Share the actual access road and parcel records so we can review your property on its own facts.

Can I request an offer without being near Pelican?+

Yes. Begin online with the property location and ownership details. Tell Larry G and the team what you know about the land, access, and any co-owners. We review the parcel before deciding whether to propose a purchase; if a sale moves forward, the closing company can explain remote signing arrangements.
