About this map

Tongass National Forest dominates this coastal landscape, covering the numerous islands and rugged shorelines of the Alexander Archipelago. Large landmasses like Dall Island are separated by the deep waters of Tlevak Strait, while smaller clusters such as the McFarland Islands and Reef Islands dot the maritime passages. The complex shoreline is defined by protected waters like View Cove, Baldy Bay, and Island Bay, providing natural harbors in a region primarily managed for its timber and wilderness values. Landforms such as Kellogg Point, Reef Point, and High Point serve as critical navigational landmarks for those traversing the Pacific Ocean entry points. This 2017 survey illustrates the intricate relationship between the temperate rainforest and the labyrinthine waterways of Prince of Wales-Hyder Census Area.
