About this map

The Annette Island Reserve dominates this coastal landscape, where the rugged topography of the Alexander Archipelago meets the Gulf of Alaska. Near the southern portion of the map, a small street grid including Hillcrest Avenue and Tafts Street serves the community near Village Point. This area reveals the maritime-focused settlement patterns of the region, with names like Port Chester and Sylburn Harbor indicating protected waters essential for coastal travel. High peaks such as Chenango Mtn and Janesville Mtn rise sharply from the shoreline, while inland freshwater bodies like Helen Todd Lake and Melanson Lake are tucked into the high elevations. The intricate coastline is dotted with numerous hazards and landmarks, from the Kelp Rocks to Lively Rock, reflecting the navigational complexity of Nichols Passage.
