About this map

Annette Island and the surrounding waters of the Revillagigedo Channel define this coastal landscape at the southern edge of the Tongass National Forest. The map documents a complex shoreline of inlets and harbors, including the sheltered Hassler Harbor and the narrow Cascade Inlet. Inland, the topography is marked by a series of prominent peaks such as Cone Mtn, Spine Mtn, and Tired Mtn, which rise sharply from the water's edge.

The administrative landscape is equally significant, showing the overlap of the Annette Island Reserve with the surrounding census area. Numerous freshwater bodies, such as Hassler Lake and the Cascade Lakes, are caught in the high basins between ridges. This coastal survey records a wilderness shaped by deep glacial carving, from the expansive Gulf of Alaska to specific navigational landmarks like Washington Monument Rock in the Thorne Arm.
