About this map

Cleveland Peninsula dominates the eastern portion of this coastal survey, where the dense timber of the Tongass National Forest meets the intricate waterways of the Alexander Archipelago. The landscape is defined by the significant rise of Mt Burnett, which serves as a central landmark for the surrounding wilderness. To the west, the Pacific Ocean pushes into the shoreline through sheltered features like Vixen Harbor and the larger Vixen Inlet, protected by Vixen Point. This terrain reflects the complex maritime geography of the Wrangell region, where small freshwater systems like Cannery Cr drain the steep topography into the salt water. The presence of Sunshine Island at the mouth of the inlet underscores the navigational challenges and natural protection inherent in these glacial-carved coastal stretches.
