About this map

Thorne River and its associated waterways dominate this portion of the Tongass National Forest, illustrating the intricate drainage patterns of Prince of Wales Island. The landscape is defined by its complex hydrology, featuring the Honker-Divide Canoe Route (Water) and numerous interconnected water bodies such as Snakey Lakes and the Cutthroat Lakes. The presence of the Toms Lake Trail and Balls Lake Trail suggests established access routes through the dense forest and around Toms Lake.

Southward, the terrain becomes increasingly complex with the network of the Rio Beaver and its various spurs, including Rio Beaver E 120 and Rio Beaver W Bank. These specific labels indicate a history of local geographic naming often tied to drainage and topographic navigation. Elevated features like Rush Peak Ridge provide the vertical relief that shapes the Rush Peak Cr Valley and Rush Peak W Valley, marking the transition from river flats to upland forest.
