Tongass National Forest dominates this maritime landscape in the Prince of Wales-Hyder Census Area, where the Pacific coastline dissolves into a complex network of straits and inlets. The island-rich waters are characterized by the wide Tlevak Strait and protected passages like Jackson Passage. This 2021 topographic study reveals a rugged archipelago including Sukkwan Island and Long Island, separated by deep-water features like Cleva Bay and Dova Bay. The naming of smaller landmarks such as Shoe Island, Shoe Rock, and Dead Pine Island suggests a history of coastal navigation and local identification within the national forest boundaries. The survey illustrates the contemporary topography of this remote island group, showing the intricate relationship between the elevated timberlands and the surrounding tidal inlets.
