About this map

Saint Joseph Island and the northern portion of Noyes Island dominate this coastal survey within the Tongass National Forest. Located in the outer reaches of the Alexander Archipelago, the terrain is defined by steep maritime slopes and deeply indented coastlines, notably around Ulitka Bay and Roller Bay. The U.S. Geological Survey documentation from this period emphasizes the complex hydrography of the region, where narrow waterways like Sonora Passage and Arriaga Passage separate the landmasses from the open waters of Iphigenia Bay. This map captures a largely untouched wilderness landscape, anchored by prominent coastal landmarks such as Cape Ulitka and Lagoma Bay, reflecting the enduring maritime character of the Prince of Wales-Hyder area.
