About this map

Chief Shakes Hot Springs sits at the northern edge of this wilderness landscape, where the geothermal activity meets the drainage of the Coast Mountains. The massive Stikine River dominates the central portion of the map, carving a wide channel through the Tongass National Forest. This section of the river is characterized by complex hydrography, including Shakes Slough and the Ketili River which feed into the main waterway. To the north, Shakes Lake provides a significant glacial catchment, while the southern terrain rises sharply toward the peaks of Mt Stinenia. The intricate network of smaller tributaries like Shuktusa Cr and Andrew Cr illustrates the high-precipitation environment of the Southeast Alaska panhandle, where water and ice have shaped the steep topography of the Wrangell City and Borough.
