1995 Map of Port Alexander D-2

About this map

Tongass National Forest encompasses the vast maritime landscape of this 1995 revision, where the waters of Chatham Strait and Frederick Sound converge. The topography centers on the northern tip of Kuiu Island and a portion of eastern Baranof Island, highlighting the complex coastline of Security Bay. This area is defined by its maritime navigation and conservation history, featuring the Lighthouse Reserve at Kingsmill Point and the protected waters within Security Bay State Marine Park. Small Cabin sites and localized naming, such as Christmas Island and Paralysis Point, suggest a history of seasonal use and maritime hazards. To the west, the South Baranof Wilderness borders the deep waters of Hoggatt Bay, reflecting the region's transition into more protected environmental management by the late 20th century.
