About this map

Kaigani Strait divides the dense rainforests and intricate shorelines of the Tongass National Forest in this coastal Alaskan survey. The maritime geography is defined by a series of deep inlets and protected coves, most notably the dual anchorages of North Kaigani Harbor and South Kaigani Harbor. Further north, the waterway narrows at Howkan Narrows, a passage flanked by Mission Cove and the hazardous Howkan Reef. The landscape is largely undeveloped, showing the primitive character of the Alexander Archipelago where Lake Seclusion and Pond Bay sit tucked away from the open Gulf of Alaska. Navigational landmarks like Dix Point and the Bay Islands within American Bay illustrate the critical reliance on sea-based transport and natural harbors in this maritime wilderness.
