Tongass National Forest covers the vast majority of this coastal Alaskan landscape, where steep maritime slopes meet the intricate shoreline of the Prince of Wales-Hyder Census Area. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes rising directly from the saltwater, including the prominent Niblack Point which guards the southern approach to inland waters. Natural freshwater features like Smugglers Lake and the drainage of Niblack Hollow are tucked into the high-relief topography, representing the typical temperate rainforest geography of the Alexander Archipelago. This survey documents the boundary between the forest lands and the Ketchikan Gateway Borough, illustrating a region where human footprint is largely confined to the water's edge and the management of timber and natural resources.
