About this map

Kupreanof Island landscape is defined by the dense hydrological network and managed timber lands of the Tongass National Forest. This modern survey illustrates a remote wilderness where transport is limited to specialized routes like Kake Road and paths such as Lost Pass, Black Bear, and Toad. The drainage pattern is complex, with Hamilton Creek and Cathedral Falls Cr carving through the terrain alongside Big Cr. Several bodies of water, most notably Goose Lake, dot the interior, representing the typical muskeg and forest ecosystem of the Alexander Archipelago. This map reflects the contemporary management of natural resources and public lands in Southeast Alaska.
