About this map

Bradfield Canal and its tidal flats dominate this coastal Alaskan landscape, where the Bradfield River and Harding River meet the sea. The 1997 revision reflects the infrastructure of the Tongass National Forest, including several remote Forest Service outposts such as Harding River Cabin (FS), Eagle Lake Cabin (FS), and Reflection Lake Cabin (FS). A long-distance powerline cuts through the terrain, connecting a Powerhouse near Tyee Lake to the broader regional grid.

Evidence of historical habitation and resource management appears in the form of Cabin Ruins and a Gaging Station along the riverbanks. The map also delineates the complex administrative boundaries of the Misty Fiords National Monument Wilderness and the Anan Creek LUD II Management Area. The network of interior lakes, including Eagle Lake, Reflection Lake, and Lake Nellie, highlights a landscape shaped by glacial recession and heavy annual precipitation.
