Kake serves as the focal point of this coastal landscape, situated on the western shore of Kupreanof Island within the Tongass National Forest. The community infrastructure is clearly defined, including the Kake Courthouse and Kake Airport, with local thoroughfares like Silver Spike Road and Totem Way providing land access. The surrounding waters of the Keku Strait are dotted with numerous landmarks such as Hamilton Island and Hound Island, while the coastline is carved by Hamilton Bay and Portage Bay. Numerous salmon-bearing streams, including Gunnuk Cr and Little Gunnuk Cr, drain the interior forest toward the sea. The geography here illustrates the vital connection between this Tlingit village and the complex network of islands and waterways that characterize Southeast Alaska's maritime environment.
