About this map

Fox Island and the rugged coastal reaches of the Resurrection Peninsula dominate this coastal survey of the Gulf of Alaska. The landscape is defined by its deep fjords and maritime protection, with most of the land area falling under the jurisdiction of the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge and Chugach National Forest. Hikers can trace the South Beach Trl and Caines Head Trl along the western shoreline near Caines Head, providing a rare terrestrial connection in a region otherwise accessible primarily by water. Named coves such as Thumb Cove, Humpy Cove, and Sunny Cove suggest a history of seasonal anchorage and maritime activity. The presence of smaller features like The Iron Door and Marys Rock provide specific navigation points for those studying the intricate shoreline of the Eldorado Narrows.
