About this map

Portland Canal serves as the prominent maritime divider on this coastal survey, where the international boundary between the United States and Canada runs directly through the deep waterway. This remote stretch of the Alaska Panhandle is dominated by the heavily timbered reaches of the Tongass National Forest, which covers the steep terrain rising from the shoreline. The map documents several significant coastal features including Halibut Bay and Sandfly Bay, along with a series of navigational landmarks such as Astronomical Point and Blunt Point. The lack of inland development or infrastructure highlights the wild character of this border region, where the steep fjords and dense forest meet the saltwater of the canal.
