About this map

Stephens Passage and Saginaw Channel dominate this maritime landscape near the height of mid-century coastal development. The coastal mainland is anchored by the Glacier Highway, which follows the shoreline of Tee Harbor and Lena Cove, connecting recreational landmarks like the Lena Beach Recreation Area and the Auke Recreation Area. Religious and local history is centered at the Shrine of St Terese and nearby Dotsons Landing.

Across the water, the survey details the complex topography of Shelter Island and the northern tip of Admiralty Island, where Funter Bay provides a protected anchorage. This 1962 field-annotated record shows the coexistence of industry and wilderness, noting a Quarry and Radio Tower alongside the vast Tongass National Forest. Inland, the network of Montana Creek Trail and various unnamed cabins reveals a landscape heavily used by local residents for fishing and forestry.
