Tongass National Forest dominates this coastal Alaskan landscape, where the interplay of tide and timber defines the geography. Navigational points such as Point Alexander and Point Lockwood trace the intricate shoreline of the Keene Channel and Beecher Pass. The terrain is characterized by steep rises toward the Sumner Mountains and West Sumner Mountains, interspersed with interior features like Crystal Lake. Access into these forested highlands is facilitated by Woodpecker Road and the Mitkof Highway, providing a modern look at the land-use patterns in this part of the Petersburg Borough. From the Battery Islets to the southern tip at Point Alexander, the map details a region where the maritime and mountain environments meet.
