Saint James Bay dominates the eastern coastline of this region, where the Lynn Brothers islands sit at the mouth of a sheltered cove. This coastal landscape is defined by the steep elevation of the Chilkat Range, rising sharply from the water's edge towards the interior. The map illustrates a strictly preserved wilderness, with the boundary between the Tongass National Forest and Glacier Bay National Park running through the southwestern portion of the sheet. At Saint James Point, the shoreline turns sharply, marking a transition from open water to the more protected bay. Further inland, the peak of Nun Mtn serves as a prominent navigational landmark amidst the complex topography of the range.
