About this map

Alexander Archipelago islands define the maritime character of this remote coastal landscape within the Tongass National Forest. The geography is dominated by deep glacial incisions into the shoreline, most notably the long reaches of Kendrick Bay and its northern and southern extensions, Short Arm Kendrick Bay and South Arm Kendrick Bay. To the south, the protected waters of McLean Arm cut deeply into the landmass, providing a natural harbor characteristic of the Alaskan Panhandle's complex coastline. Produced by the U.S. Geological Survey, this topographic record documents the intersection of vast temperate rainforests and the Pacific inlets that historically served as the primary transit corridors for the region's early logging and fishing industries.
