About this map

Tongass National Forest covers the coastal reaches and timbered islands of this Southeast Alaska maritime landscape, where the tides of the Pacific Ocean thread through complex channels and narrows. The topography is defined by the intricate waterways of North Pass Sukkwan Strait and South Pass Sukkwan Strait, which separate larger landmasses like Goat Island from a dense archipelago of smaller points and isles. Local navigation is marked by descriptive landmarks such as Whisker Point, Horn Point, and Turn Rock. From the sheltered waters of Crab Trap Cove to the open reach of Soda Bay, the map reveals a wilderness environment where the land is deeply fragmented by inlets like Goat Mouth Inlet. Small, specifically named features like Deadman Island, Spook Island, and Passage Island provide essential points of reference for those tracing the historic maritime routes and island geography of the Prince of Wales-Hyder region.
