About this map

Tongass National Forest dominates the land in this coastal region of the Alaska Panhandle, illustrating a landscape defined by dramatic elevation changes and marine passages. The northern edge of the sheet focuses on the meeting of land and sea where the South Passage and Icy Strait converge near Quartz Point. These waterways serve as significant maritime corridors, with Gull Cove providing a protected indentation along the rugged coastline. The map details the intricate contours of the coastal mountains, showing the dense network of drainage and elevation that characterizes this portion of the Hoonah-Angoon Census Area. Isolated features like Goose Island emphasize the complex archipelago nature of the shoreline, where the national forest boundary encompasses both the shoreline and the rising interior peaks.
