About this map

Tongass National Forest dominates this coastal Alaska landscape, where high-altitude lakes and drainage basins feed the waterways of the Alexander Archipelago. The terrain is defined by a series of peaks including Dude Mtn, Diana Mtn, and Minerva Mountain, which overlook a complex network of freshwater bodies such as Harriet Hunt Lake and Mahoney Lake.

Transport and access are primarily clustered along the western edge via the Revilla Highway, while the interior is traversed by forest roads and recreational routes like the Deer Mountain National Recreat. The presence of the Powerline corridor running north-south through the hills and the inclusion of Beaver Falls indicate the integration of regional infrastructure within the wilderness. The eastern coastline along the Gulf of Alaska is marked by small offshore features like Coon Island, providing a clear view of the shore-to-mountain transition.
