About this map

Hyder stands as a significant point of entry on the international boundary between Alaska and British Columbia, situated at the head of the Portland Canal. This 2021 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey details the rugged interface between the Tongass National Forest and the peaks of the Coast Mountains. The Salmon River serves as a primary geographical corridor, paralleled by State Highway 12 and the Salmon River Road, which facilitate movement through this complex glacial landscape.

High-elevation features such as Red Glacier and peaks like Mount Dolly and Mount Hinckley define the wilderness surroundings. The presence of the Titan Trail suggests routes used for local access or historical exploration. To the south, the map transition to coastal points including Salmon Point and Eagle Point where the river system meets the Marmot River, illustrating the high-relief topography characteristic of the Southeast Alaska panhandle.
