Tongass National Forest dominates this coastal landscape in the Ketchikan Gateway region of Alaska. The area is defined by the deep waters of Nakat Inlet and the Pacific Ocean, which carve into the steep, timbered terrain. Topographic landmarks like Peninsula Ridge and Shed Mtn rise sharply from the shoreline, illustrating the vertical character of the Alexander Archipelago. Inland, Nakat Lake provides a notable freshwater contrast to the surrounding saltwater channels. The map reflects a modern era of forest management and maritime preservation, where traditional land divisions such as t80s r98e intersect with the protected boundaries of the nation's largest national forest. This survey is a record of the complex shoreline and high-elevation contours that govern navigation and land use in this part of Southeast Alaska.
