Tongass National Forest dominates this Alaskan landscape, characterized by the winding drainage systems of the Blossom River and Keta River. This 2018 survey captures the high-elevation terrain of the Ketchikan Gateway Borough, where the steep topography is carved by numerous unnamed tributaries and glacial features. A significant human imprint on this wilderness is the Quartz Hill Access road, which provides a corridor through the mountainous interior in the southwestern portion of the map. Smaller watercourses like Red Cr drain the southeastern slopes, illustrating the complex hydrography of the region. The map serves as a detailed study of the land-use boundaries within the national forest, delineated by the Public Land Survey System grid lines that segment the territory.
