About this map

Tongass National Forest encompasses the rugged coastline of the Alexander Archipelago shown here, where the Gulf of Alaska meets a complex network of islands and waterways. The topography is dominated by the western shores of Heceta Island, featuring landmarks such as Cape Lynch and the heights above Cone Bay. Inward from the coast, Cone Lake sits tucked behind the shoreline, accessed by the Cone Lake B Spur. Scattered across the maritime landscape are navigational markers and smaller landmasses, including Whale Head Island, Lasa Island, and the distinctive Whale Rock. This modern survey details the intricate shoreline and elevation of these remote landforms, from the tidal hazards at Slide Reef to the exposed peak at Whale Head. The map's focus on hydrography and forestry boundaries reflects the region's enduring character as a wilderness shaped by the sea.
