Sitklan Island sits at the northern edge of this maritime map, representing a rugged piece of the Tongass National Forest where the Alaskan panhandle meets the open sea. The majority of the area is dominated by the waters of the Dixon Entrance, a vital international strait that serves as a primary marine boundary between Alaska and British Columbia. This survey details the intricate shoreline and surrounding islets of the larger landmass, which remains largely undeveloped and preserved within the national forest system. Because the map covers a border region, it illustrates the exact coastal transitions and maritime limits within the Tongass National Forest during the early twenty-first century, providing a clear record of the natural topography before any significant modern navigational or coastal changes.
