About this map

Hyder sits at the edge of the international border in the Alaskan Panhandle, serving as a gateway to the high peaks and glacial valleys of the Tongass National Forest. This 2018 survey captures the interface between the United States and Canada, where the State Highway 12 Salmon River and Salmon River Road provide essential overland access along the river corridor. The landscape is defined by the massive elevations of the Coast Mountains, including Mt Hinckley and the Reverdy Mountains.

Water and elevation dominate the topography, with numerous creeks such as Thumb Creek and Skookum Creek draining into the larger Marmot River system. Local points of interest like Silver Falls and Moose Park are mapped alongside the Titan Trail, which climbs toward the interior. Coastal features such as Eagle Point and Salmon Point mark the transition from the steep mountainsides to the tidal waters at the head of the Portland Canal.
