About this map

Tongass National Forest encompasses the entirety of this coastal landscape, where the waters of Zimovia Strait meet the complex shorelines of Wrangell Island. The settlement at Thoms Place serves as a focal point near the southeastern coast, positioned where Thoms Creek drains from the interior high ground. This terrain is characterized by steep elevations like Deer Ridge and significant freshwater bodies such as Thoms Lake. The maritime geography is defined by a series of protected inlets and navigational markers, including Whaletail Cove, Olive Cove, and Turn Point. These features indicate a landscape shaped by both timber resources and coastal navigation. Small landforms like the Village Islands, Button Island, and the Zimovia Islets dot the strait, reflecting the intricate coastal network vital to the region's geography and local transit.
