About this map

The maritime wilderness of the Tongass National Forest dominates this coastal landscape along the Lynn Canal. This 2021 survey focuses on the intricate shoreline of the Mansfield Peninsula, where the steep ascent to Mt Robert Barron begins almost immediately from the water's edge. The map provides a detailed view of the complex coastal navigation hazards and small islands that define the entrance to Funter Bay, including Curlew Ledge, Gauge Island, and Bare Island.

Further offshore, isolated features like Hanus Reef and the small islets known as The Kittens mark the deep waters of the canal. The absence of roads or permanent settlements within this portion of the Tongass National Forest underscores the preserved character of this Southeast Alaska environment, where landmarks like Clear Point and Station Island serve as primary points of reference for those navigating the rugged Inside Passage.
