About this map

Goddard sits along the eastern shore of this coastal Alaskan landscape, where the Tongass National Forest meets the saltwater of the North Pacific. The terrain is defined by a dense archipelago and deep inlets, including Kliuchevoi Bay and Hot Springs Bay, which carve into the Kliuchef Peninsula. To the north, the elevation rises sharply toward Mt Kliuchef, while inland, Redoubt Lake forms a significant freshwater body just behind the coast.

The western portion of the map is dominated by a scattering of islands such as the Necker Islands, Wrangell Island, and Ataku Island, separated by the Biorka Channel. This coastal network, terminating in the open Gulf of Alaska, illustrates the complex maritime geography used by local navigators and residents. Small landmarks like The Beehive and Jacob Rock serve as distinct points for maritime orientation along the Windy Passage.
