Tongass National Forest encompasses the coastal island terrain of this 2017 survey, where the temperate rainforest meets the eastern edge of the Gulf of Alaska. The landscape is defined by its convoluted coastline, punctuated by the prominent westward reach of Point Ellis. To the north, the protected waters of the Bay of Pillars are shielded by a cluster of small offshore islands and reefs, while the southern reaches open into Tebenkof Bay. Inland, the drainage of Kwatahein Cr carves through the heavily contoured ridges, illustrating the complex hydrology of the Alexander Archipelago. This map provides a clear record of these maritime boundaries and topographic elevations before more recent shifts in glacial or sea-level data were recorded.
