About this map

Tongass National Forest dominates this coastal Alaskan landscape, where the steep topography of the Alexander Archipelago meets the tidal waters of Bell Arm. The area is defined by its dramatic glacial carved valleys and significant freshwater systems, most notably Eagle Lake, which feeds into the Eagle River before reaching the coast. This map illustrates the administrative boundary between Wrangell Borough and Ketchikan Gateway Borough, a line that traverses some of the most isolated terrain in the region. Apart from the small drainage of Grant Creek in the northeast, the land remains largely undeveloped, preserving a wilderness character that reflects the natural state of Southeast Alaska in the early 21st century.
