About this map

Tongass National Forest dominates this section of the Alexander Archipelago, where the steep, glacier-carved terrain of Revillagigedo Island meets the deep waters of the Behm Canal. This modern survey illustrates the complex coastal geography of the Alaska Panhandle, centered on significant inland water bodies like Orchard Lake and Neets Lake. The drainage patterns are clearly defined by steep-walled valleys feeding into Shrimp Bay and Klu Bay, with seasonal flows from Carroll Cr and Klam Cr marking the rugged interior. As a record of the early twenty-first century, the map provides a precise look at the forest's hydrological network and the relationship between the saltwater fjords and the high-elevation lakes that define this maritime wilderness.
