Chichagof Island dominates this portion of Southeast Alaska, characterized by the dense timber of the Tongass National Forest. The coastal environment is defined by the deep waters of the Gulf of Alaska and protected waterways like Lisianski Inlet, which serves as a vital maritime passage. A mapped Ferry Route cutting across the inlet highlights the reliance on waterborne transportation for navigating the complex shoreline of the Althorp Peninsula. Inland, the topography rises sharply to landmarks such as Crag Mtn and Basalt Knob, with drainages like Meadow Cr carving through the steep coastal range. This map captures the intersection of federal forest management and the essential nautical corridors that sustain life in the Alexander Archipelago.
