About this map

The massive Mt Burnett dominates the southern reaches of this maritime landscape, its high elevations rising sharply above the complex shoreline of the Cleveland Peninsula. This modern survey documents a segment of the Tongass National Forest where the deep waters of Vixen Inlet cut into the timbered slopes. Along the coast, small geographical features like Sunshine Island and Vixen Point mark the transition from the protected waters of the inlet to the broader coastal expanse. The drainage of Cannery Cr flows into the inlet, hinting at the historical significance of these waterways for the region's salmon-based industrial past. Positioned on the boundary between the Wrangell-City and Borough and the Ketchikan Gateway Borough, the map illustrates a wilderness area where contemporary administrative lines meet an ancient, glacial-carved terrain.
