About this map

Heceta Island and the intricate archipelago of the Maurelle Islands dominate this coastal survey of the Tongass National Forest. The landscape is defined by its dramatic relief, rising from the waters of Anguilla Bay and Bocas De Finas to prominent heights like Bald Mtn and Timber Knob. Navigation along the shoreline is punctuated by notable landmarks such as Dead Tree Point and the hazardous Desconocida Reef.

Evidence of human access in this maritime wilderness is sparse but present, seen in the Bald Mountain 1425000 Road Trl and various island spurs that thread through the timber. The map details a complex geological and nautical environment, from the towering White Cliff to the low-lying reaches of Esquibel Island and Trasera Island, providing a clear record of the islands' topography and named coastal features in the early twenty-first century.
