Tongass National Forest dominates this coastal Alaskan landscape, where the dense wilderness of the Tnf meets the protected waters of Howard Bay. This 2017 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey details the shoreline along the southern reaches of the Lynn Canal, a major glacial fjord providing maritime access through the Alexander Archipelago. The terrain is defined by the sharp transition from the forested heights down to Point Howard, a prominent landmark that marks the entrance to the bay. The map also delineates the administrative boundary between the Hoonah-Angoon Census Area and the Haines Borough, which cuts through the open waters of the canal, reflecting the complex political geography of the Alaskan Panhandle.
