Tongass National Forest dominates this coastal landscape, covering the numerous islands and islets that dot the waters of Southeast Alaska. The map focuses on a complex archipelago where the open reaches of Frederick Sound meet the protected passages of Keku Strait. Among the many landforms recorded here, Payne Island stands out within the forest boundaries, surrounded by the smaller Keku Islets and the larger cluster of the Keku Islands. The distribution of these features reveals a heavily glaciated maritime environment, characterized by intricate shorelines and scattered rock outcroppings typical of the Prince of Wales-Hyder Census Area. This survey provides a precise modern look at the relationship between these protected forest lands and the surrounding marine waterways.
