About this map

Dall Island dominates this coastal landscape along the southwestern edge of the Tongass National Forest. The complex shoreline is defined by deep inlets and protected waters like Port Bazan and Essowah Harbor, which are sheltered from the open Gulf of Alaska by landforms such as Dolgoi Island. Rising above the forested interior, Cone Mtn serves as a prominent landmark for navigation. This remote wilderness area, characterized by a mix of maritime and freshwater environments including Parrot Lake and the Essowah Lakes, remains largely devoid of modern development, reflecting the primitive state of this island archipelago as it appeared in the early 21st century. The map captures a topography shaped by coastal erosion and glacial history, with named points like Point Bazan and Parrot Point marking the interface between the rugged island interior and the sea.
