About this map

Yes Bay Lodge Seaplane Base sits on the northern edge of Yes Bay, providing a vital maritime link in this southeastern Alaskan wilderness. The landscape is defined by its dramatic relief and freshwater resources, including the significant reach of Lake McDonald and smaller upland bodies like Lake Rowena and Lake Maude. This section of the Tongass National Forest showcases the complex interplay of high-altitude features like Bald Mtn and Twin Rift against the deep saltwater inlets of the Gulf of Alaska. Navigational markers along the coast, such as Syble Point and Bluff Point, anchor the shoreline where Wolverine Cr meets the sea. The map reveals a region where transportation is dictated by the water, centering on the remote seaplane facility and the islands of Black Island and Hassler Island.
