About this map

Etolin Island dominates this coastal landscape within the Tongass National Forest, characterized by the intricate shorelines of the Alexander Archipelago. The terrain rises sharply from the Pacific Ocean to the heights of Mt Shakes, while to the east, the narrow waters of Canoe Passage separate the main landmass from Brownson Island, which is capped by Brownson Peak. This coastal environment is defined by its numerous small archipelagos and outcrops, including the Stone Islands and the Petersen Islands. The map illustrates a maritime-dominated geography where the mountains meet the Gulf of Alaska, showing a wilderness area almost entirely devoid of human-named infrastructure, focusing instead on the complex natural navigation and topography of these Alaskan islands.
