About this map

Metlakatla sits on the northern edge of this territory within the Annette Island Reserve, serving as the primary hub of settlement on the island. The landscape is defined by its maritime orientation, where the deep waters of Tamgas Harbor and Clarence Strait meet a coastline marked by prominent features like Point Davison and Sextant Point. This maritime infrastructure is anchored by the Annette Island Airport, which occupies a significant portion of the island's interior flatland. Away from the coastal settlements, the terrain rises into the heights of Purple Mtn and Doe Mtn, part of the sprawling Tongass National Forest. For those tracing local history, the Metlakatla Cem and the complex network of local roads like Smuggler's Cove Road and Tamgas Road provide a detailed look at the island's community development and transportation patterns during the late 20th century.
