About this map

The rocky eastern coastline of the Tongass National Forest meets the open waters of the Gulf of Alaska in this recent survey of a secluded Alaskan wilderness. The map focuses on a dramatic series of headlands and inlets, including Security Point and Point Cornwallis, where the terrain rises sharply from the sea toward the summit of Stripe Mtn.

A protected anchorage is visible at Security Cove in the north, offering a rare point of shelter along this exposed stretch of shore. The landscape is defined by its lack of infrastructure, showing a coastline governed by maritime landmarks like Liscome Point and the steep elevation changes characteristic of this region within the TNF boundaries. This documentation provides a high-resolution view of the natural shoreline and topography before any modern development has altered the area's wild character.
