Tongass National Forest dominates this maritime landscape where the Inside Passage meets the Behm Canal. The geography is defined by narrow waterways and steep coastal rises, including the prominent California Ridge on the eastern shore. Navigational points such as Caamano Point on the Cleveland Peninsula and the offshore Guard Islands serve as critical landmarks for vessels traversing these Alaskan waters. This modern survey illustrates the complex interface between the sea and the coastal forest, recording the precise boundaries where the Ketchikan Gateway Borough meets the Prince of Wales-Hyder Census Area. The presence of features like Vallenar Bay and Vallenar Point highlights the localized nomenclature of the Revillagigedo Island coastline.
