About this map

Hoonah sits at the heart of this coastal study, positioned where the waters of Hoonah Harbor meet the greater expanse of Port Frederick. The settlement is characterized by its mid-century maritime infrastructure, including a prominent Cannery and Oil Tanks near the shoreline, reflecting the industrial life of Chichagof Island in the early 1950s. A local Cem is marked just outside the town center, providing a fixed point for genealogical research in the Alaska-First Judicial Division.

The surrounding terrain within the Tongass National Forest is defined by a complex network of waterways and points, from the mouth of Game Creek to the southern reaches of Neka Bay. Inland travel is represented by the Spasski Trail, which cuts eastward toward Spasski Bay. Scattered Cabins appear along the coast near Game Point, suggesting seasonal or subsistence outposts in a landscape dominated by tidal channels like Gedney Channel and the open reach of Icy Strait.
