Chatham Strait dominates this maritime expanse, where the deep waters of the Alexander Archipelago meet the administrative boundaries of Southeast Alaska. The map centers on the isolated Yasha Island, a small landmass within the Tongass National Forest that serves as a critical navigation marker for vessels moving through the strait. This 2021 study meticulously delineates the convergence of three major jurisdictions: the Hoonah-Angoon Census Area Sitka City and Borough, the Hoonah-Angoon Census Area Prince of Wales-Hyder Census Area, and the southern reaches of the Tongass National Forest. The absence of developed roads or settlements emphasizes the remote, water-dependent nature of this region, which remains primarily a corridor for maritime traffic and wilderness management.
