About this map

Suemez Island and the surrounding reaches of the Tongass National Forest define this coastal landscape on the Prince of Wales Archipelago. The map documents a complex maritime environment where the open Gulf of Alaska meets protected inner waterways. Navigation and coastal geography are the primary focus, with prominent landmarks such as Eagle Point and Juel Point marking the transition from the passage to more sheltered inlets. Deep indentations in the shoreline create features like Bobs Bay, Diver Bay, and the uniquely named Hole-in-the-Wall. The interior terrain is characterized by the dense timber and coastal peaks typical of southeast Alaska, while offshore hazards and small landmasses like the Diver Islands and Diver Rocks punctuate the Meares Passage.
