Tongass National Forest dominates this coastal stretch of the Alaska Panhandle, where the southern reaches of the Saint Elias Mountains meet the waters of the Inside Passage. The landscape is defined by the deep indentation of Howard Bay, a significant natural anchorage protected by the prominent Point Howard to the north. This 2021 survey records the administrative boundary of the Haines Borough Hoonah-Angoon Census Area as it traverses the forested slopes and marine waters. The cartography illustrates a transition from the high, glacier-carved peaks of the interior to the complex, island-dotted shoreline, providing a clear view of the wilderness character of the region before any significant modern development altered these shores.
