About this map

Tongass National Forest covers this coastal stretch of the Alexander Archipelago, where the steep terrain of Elephant Mtn overlooks the waters of Spasski Bay. The map documents a complex network of forest routes, including those designated Hoonah Gypsum, Hoonah Gypsum-1, and Hoonah Gypsum-2, which suggest historical industrial or mineral extraction interests in this area. Along the shoreline, Neck Point and the small Pulizzi Island provide navigational reference points at the bay's mouth.

Drainage systems like Spasski Cr flow from the high interior ridges toward the coast, following deep valleys between the forested peaks. Further south, specific local tracks such as Hippo 2, Hippo 3, and Hippo Back indicate active land management and access within the national forest. The topographic detail captures the transition from sea level to peaks exceeding 2,000 feet, recording the modern infrastructure used to navigate this corner of Southeast Alaska.
