About this map

Kuteha Indian Burial Grounds sits along the northern shore of Stephens Passage, marking a significant cultural site near Cherokee Flats. This coastal region south of Juneau is defined by the deep waters of the Taku Inlet and the Gastineau Channel, where the settlement of Dupont stands near the Juneau Townsite Boundary. The map documents a maritime landscape of narrow inlets and high peaks, including Taku Mtn and Butler Peak.

Navigation and coastal access are central to the area's layout, with a Light at Grave Pt and Stockade Pt protecting the entrance to Taku Harbor. Significant inland features such as Taku Lake and Bart Lake feed into the complex waterway system, while a Portage trail provides a vital link across the Douglas Peninsula between Oliver Inlet and Seymour Canal. Most of this territory is managed as part of the Tongass National Forest, preserving the wilderness character of Douglas Island and Grand Island.
