Tongass National Forest encompasses the rugged island terrain of this coastal Alaskan landscape, where the sea meets heavily timbered mountains. The interior is dominated by the prominent peaks of North Mtn and White Mtn, providing a dramatic backdrop to the intricate network of waterways. Navigational landmarks define the maritime character of the region, from the sheltered waters of Explorer Basin and Tebenkof Bay to the open expanse of Chatham Strait. The archipelago nature of the coast is evident in the cluster of the Troller Islands and Windfall Islands, separated by the Heliantus Passage. These landforms, including Swaine Point and Troller Point, highlight the complex shoreline of Kuiu Island as it was charted in the early 21st century.
