About this map

Glacier Bay National Park and the Tongass National Forest meet at this remote coastal interface in Southeast Alaska. The landscape is defined by its deep maritime passages and rocky landforms, notably the prominent Point Dundas which anchors the northern coast above Dundas Bay. The map documents a critical transition zone where the protected wilderness of the national park gives way to the expansive Gulf of Alaska.

Navigation through these waters is dictated by several key passes and coves. The Inian Islands are separated from the mainland by the North Inian Pass and South Inian Pass, creating a complex maritime corridor. To the south, protected anchorages like Inian Cove and Earl Cove provide shelter from the open waters of the Icy Strait, reflecting the rugged maritime character of the Hoonah-Angoon Census Area.
