Sumner Strait defines the maritime character of this Southeast Alaska landscape, serving as a primary waterway between the islands of the Tongass National Forest. The map detail focuses on several distinct landmasses, most notably Vank Island and the northern reaches of Zarembo Island. Elevation is concentrated at Ancon Peak, which towers over the eastern shoreline near Elephants Nose. Navigational points such as Middle Craig Point and South Craig Point delineate the western coast, while the protected waters of Anita Bay and Deep Bay suggest natural harbors used by mariners and local industry. The distribution of small islets like Fivemile Island and Sokolof Island illustrates the complex archipelago geography typical of the Wrangell region, where deep water channels and high peaks meet.
