About this map

Tongass National Forest dominates the landscape of Kupreanof Island in this coastal survey, where the rugged topography meets the waters of Frederick Sound and Dry Strait. The terrain is characterized by dramatic elevation changes, notably at Falls Flat and the feature known as Knee, while a complex network of drainage systems including Canyon Creek, Bear Cr, and Falls Cr carve through the timbered slopes. This area serves as a primary recreational and resource corridor, evidenced by an established trail system including the Crane Lake Trail, Sand Lake Trail, and Hill Lake Trail. Forest Service access is facilitated by named routes such as Three Lakes Loop, Frenchy, and Claptrap, illustrating the infrastructure required to manage these remote timberlands and watersheds during the late 2010s.
