Tongass National Forest dominates this Alaskan coastal terrain, defining a landscape where dense forest meets the intricate waterways of the Alexander Archipelago. The survey centers on Totem Bay, a significant coastal indentation flanked by Totem Point and protected by smaller outcrops such as Shingle Island. This map illustrates the intersection of jurisdictional lines, notably the boundary between the Petersburg Borough and the Prince of Wales-Hyder Census Area. The topography is characterized by steep timbered slopes and intermittent wetlands, captured here in the early 21st century before modern shifts in land management or climate impacted the remote shoreline of this national forest region.
