About this map

Loring sits at the edge of Naha Bay in this 2017 survey of the Southeast Alaska coastline. The landscape is dominated by the Tongass National Forest, showing a complex network of coastal inlets and freshwater systems. The Naha River National Recreation area traces the waterway inland from the coast, connecting the saltwater bay to a chain of interior lakes including Jordan Lake, Emma Lake, and Heckman Lake.

Coastal geography is detailed along the Gulf of Alaska, featuring distinct landmarks such as Donnelly Point, Cod Point, and the sheltered waters of Moser Bay. Further south, the map documents the drainage of Leask Creek into Leask Cove, illustrating the transition from steep timbered slopes to the shoreline of the Alexander Archipelago. The presence of small islands like Dogfish Island and various mountain streams such as Wolf Creek highlights the intricate hydrology of this coastal region.
