About this map

The remote Alaskan coastlines of Bradfield Canal and Ernest Sound define this wilderness survey, which highlights the conservation and management efforts within the Tongass National Forest. The map focuses heavily on the Anan Creek LUD II Management Area, a region characterized by its freshwater systems including Anan Lake and Boulder Lake. Forest Service infrastructure is prominent, noting specific sites such as the Anan Bear Observatory (FS) and several remote outposts like Anan Bay Cabin (FS) and the Frosty Bay Cabin (FS).

Coastal navigation and regional communication are reflected in the labeling of Blake Channel and a Radio Repeater (FS) on Wrangell Island. The presence of Fishtunnel (FS) near the Anan Lagoon suggests the area's significance for wildlife monitoring and natural resource management at the turn of the 21st century. The map provides a detailed look at the complex interplay of tidal passages and inland water bodies like Lake Rowena and Standing Rock Lake.
