About this map

Bell Island Hot Springs serves as a rare focal point of human infrastructure in this remote coastal landscape of the Tongass National Forest. The presence of a Seaplane Ramp and a waterfront Cabin at this site highlights the critical role of aviation and water transport for accessing the specialized geothermal resources and timber of the Alexander Archipelago. This 1952 field-annotated survey reveals a complex network of glacial waterways, including the deep Behm Canal and the sheltered channels of Hassler Pass and Gedney Pass.
