About this map

Dall Island occupies the upper half of this coastal survey, where the southern reaches of the Tongass National Forest meet the Pacific Ocean. This is a landscape defined by deep maritime indentations and high peaks, notably Stripe Mountain and the prominent southern tip at Cape Muzon. For researchers of Alaskan history, the presence of the Kaigani (Site) near Kaigani Strait marks a location of cultural significance, while the small settlement of Muzon sits at the base of the island's mountainous interior. The mapping reveals early 20th-century infrastructure reaching these maritime outposts, including an Underground Cable (Aband) that once crossed the waters between Mc Leod Bay and the nearby Datzkoo Islands. The terrain is characterized by a series of sheltered inlets such as Security Cove, Liscome Bay, and Wolk Harbor, which historically provided refuge for vessels navigating the outer coast.
