About this map

The Tongass National Forest dominates this coastal landscape, where the waters of the Gulf of Alaska and Eastern Passage meet the steep terrain of Wrangell Island. This map captures the intricate shoreline and interior navigation routes of the region, including the notable Babbler Point and the dramatic topographic rise of The Eye Opener. Land travel is represented by a network of established paths through the timber, such as the Mill Creek Trail and Institute Creek Trail, which provide access to interior water bodies like Virginia Lake. These trails follow the natural drainage of features like Institute Cr, illustrating the reliance on terrestrial routes in a region defined by its maritime boundaries. The presence of the N Wrangell Trail and Spur Road suggests the ongoing management and use of these coastal forest lands for recreation and resource access.
