About this map

Tongass National Forest encompasses the rugged coastline of Prince of Wales Island, where the waters of Sea Otter Sound meet a dense network of inlets and freshwater lakes. The maritime landscape is defined by significant geographical features such as Tuxekan Island and Camp Island, while the southern reaches are dominated by the elevations of Tonowek Ridge. Human activity is recorded through specialized landmarks like Plateau Clearcut and nautical points of interest including Port Alice and Indian Cove. The intricate drainage system of this region is mapped in detail, showing how Chuck Creek and Mink Creek connect numerous interior basins like Crooked Lake, Hook Lake, and Marsh Lake to the saltwater of Warm Chuck Inlet and Tonowek Bay. This 2017 survey provides a precise look at the hydrological and timber-harvesting patterns within this coastal wilderness.
