About this map

Hydaburg stands as the primary coastal settlement on this portion of Prince of Wales Island, situated where the Hydaburg River meets the sea. The 2021 map details the town's street plan, including Main Street and the Cedar Street Extension, while highlighting its position overlooking the Sukkwan Narrows. This coastal landscape is dominated by the sprawling reaches of the Tongass National Forest, which covers the majority of the surrounding terrain.

Waterways define the local geography, from the interior Eek Lake to the broad Sukkwan Strait that separates the main island from smaller landmasses like Blanket Island. Notable coastal landmarks such as Saltery Point and Eek Point provide reference points for maritime history and local navigation. The topography is characterized by steep timbered slopes rising directly from the shoreline, a hallmark of the Alexander Archipelago.
