About this map

Tongass National Forest dominates this Alaskan coastal landscape, where deep saltwater inlets carve into the timbered slopes of Prince of Wales Island. The interconnected waterways of Tlevak Strait, Hook Arm, and Manhattan Arm characterize a complex shoreline that defined local maritime navigation and industry in the early 21st century. Further south, protected anchorages like View Cove and Coco Harbor sit tucked behind Clam Island, while the inland terrain rises sharply to the peaks of White Mtn and Squaw Mtn. Significant freshwater bodies, including Manhattan Lake and the remote Devil Lake, provide evidence of the glacial hydrology and steep drainage patterns inherent to this part of the Alexander Archipelago. This survey documents the intersection of vast federal forest lands with the jagged, island-strewn coast of the Prince of Wales-Hyder Census Area.
