Shakes Lake dominates the southwestern portion of this high-altitude Alaskan landscape, where the international boundary between Canada and the United States follows the dramatic ridgelines of the Coast Mountains. The terrain is defined by the sharp elevations of Castle Mtn and the broader mass of Wrangell, located within a protected wilderness corridor. This modern survey illustrates the intersection of the Stikine-Leconte Wilderness and the Tongass National Forest, showcasing a region where glacial activity and steep topographical gradients dictate the natural drainage patterns. The map provides precise data for the remote borderlands of the Wrangell-Petersburg area, tracing the remote peaks and alpine hydrology that characterize the boundary between British Columbia and Southeast Alaska.
