About this map

Etolin Island dominates this southeastern Alaskan coastal landscape, where the dense timber of the Tongass National Forest meets the intricate waterways of the Alexander Archipelago. The geography is defined by a series of sheltered harborages, most notably McHenry Anchorage and Dewey Anchorage, which provide refuge from the open waters of the Gulf of Alaska. These natural harbors serve as critical points for maritime navigation and small-craft sheltering among the scattered landmasses such as Onslow Island and Mabel Island. Inland, the terrain is characterized by steep elevation changes and small bodies of fresh water like Krogh Lake. This coastal area shows a classic glacial-carved shoreline with numerous small outcroppings like Quartz Rock and Split Island that dot the passage between the larger islands.
