2017 Map of Juneau B-3 NW
USGS Topo · Published 2017About this map
Shelter Island and Lincoln Island dominate this coastal survey of the Inside Passage, where the deep waters of the Favorite Channel and Saginaw Channel meet. Located within the Tongass National Forest, the landscape is defined by its maritime navigation points, including the prominent Point Retreat and the hazardous Faust Rock. The island interiors show significant elevation changes, with Shelter Lake positioned on the high ground of the largest landmass. The coastal periphery is marked by small protected areas such as Lincoln Anchorage, Halibut Cove, and Shelter Cove, indicating the importance of natural harbors for vessels transiting the Gulf of Alaska. The boundary between the Juneau Borough and the Hoonah-Angoon Census Area bisects these waters, reflecting the administrative divisions of this coastal wilderness.
