About this map

The Stikine River dominates this mid-century survey of the Alaska-Canada borderlands, carving a wide path through the southeast wilderness near Wrangell. The river's complex hydrology is evident in the network of side channels and wetlands, including Guerin Slough and Red Slough, which branch off near the southern edge of Barnes Lake. This region of the Tongass National Forest is defined by its dramatic vertical relief, where peaks like Mt Flemer and Black Crag tower over the drainage basins.
