Tongass National Forest dominates this landscape in Southeast Alaska, defined by a series of significant freshwater bodies and coastal inlets. The terrain rises to South Mt, while drainage networks such as Black Bear Cr weave through the dense forest environment. The map shows the coastal reach of the Pacific Ocean at Helm Bay, where the shoreline transitions into the interior's complex hydrology. Scattered across the region are several named lakes, including Bear Lake, Bugge Lake, and Rainbow Lake, which serve as primary landmarks in this sparsely developed territory. This 2017 survey also delineates the jurisdictional boundary between Wrangell City and Borough and the Ketchikan Gateway Borough, illustrating the administrative divisions within the roadless Alaskan wilderness.
