About this map

Stikine Strait serves as the central waterway of this coastal survey, dividing the mountainous terrain of the Tongass National Forest into distinct western and eastern shores. To the east, the landscape is defined by high elevations, including Sunset Peak and Red Mtn, while the western shoreline is punctuated by prominent coastal markers such as Round Point. The marine geography is further detailed by named features like Drag Island and the exposed Reef Point. The coastal forests are traversed by forest roads such as Newlywed and Fishtrap, which indicate access routes through the dense timber of the region. This 2017 edition reflects the modern boundaries of the Tongass while providing a clear view of the deep channels and shorelines where the inland waters meet the Gulf of Alaska.
