About this map

Glacier Bay National Park and the Tongass National Forest meet at this remote coastal boundary in Southeast Alaska. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the mountainous mainland at Point Wimbledon to the fragmented archipelago of the Inian Islands across the North Inian Pass.

Maritime geography dominates the sheet, revealing sheltered anchorage points like Fern Harbor and the curiously named The Hobbit Hole near Inian Cove. The map detail follows the intricate shoreline of Dundas Bay and the isolated Taylor Island, where the terrain rises steeply from the Gulf of Alaska. This 2017 survey documents the precise coastal contours and waterway transitions, including Middle Pass and Mosquito Cove, as they appeared in the early 21st century.
