About this map

Tongass National Forest dominates the terrestrial landscape of this maritime survey, covering the heavily indented shorelines of Long Island. The map focuses on the complex transition between land and the open waters of the Gulf of Alaska, characterized by numerous protective inlets and prominent coastal landmarks. Significant maritime features include Natoma Bay and the narrow passage of Kaigani Strait, which separates the island from adjacent landmasses. The coastal geography is defined by sharp headlands such as Natoma Point and Kaigani Point, which serve as vital navigational markers in this remote region of Southeast Alaska. This topographic study emphasizes the intersection of forest service lands and the vast waterway of Cordova Bay, illustrating the natural harbors and rugged boundary lines of the Prince of Wales-Hyder Census Area.
