Forrester Island dominates this maritime survey, standing as a prominent landmass within the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge and the Tongass National Forest. Located in the Alexander Archipelago at the edge of the Gulf of Alaska, the island's coastline is marked by indentations such as Eagle Harbor and Wood Cove. This isolated terrain serves as a vital ecological site, surrounded by smaller offshore features including Lowrie Island, Petrel Island, and Butler Rock. The map illustrates the island's steep topography and the absence of human infrastructure, highlighting its status as a protected wilderness area. The boundaries of the Amnwr and TNF emphasize the intersection of various federal conservation jurisdictions in this remote portion of the Alexander Archipelago.
