About this map

Tongass National Forest encompasses this island-strewn maritime landscape within the Prince of Wales-Hyder Census Area. The topography is defined by the sharp elevations of Noyes Island, rising to the summit of Noyes Peak, and the complex shorelines of the San Lorenzo Islands. Navigational features like Steamboat Bay and the Saint Nicholas Channel illustrate the vital water passages that connect these remote landmasses. The map details the rugged coastal points, including Point San Francisco and Point Santa Gertrudis on Lulu Island, which serve as critical landmarks in an area dominated by intricate inlets and dense forest cover. This survey captures a modern view of the archipelago, where the intersection of high peaks and protected passages like Sonora Passage dictates the pattern of human access and natural resource management.
