About this map

Tongass National Forest covers the vast majority of this coastal landscape, where the Alexander Archipelago meets the open waters of the Pacific Ocean. This survey reveals a deeply indented shoreline defined by the sprawling waters of Foggy Bay, which is sheltered from the sea by the De Long Islands. The terrain rises sharply from the saltwater to the summit of High Mtn, demonstrating the extreme relief typical of the Ketchikan Gateway region. The intricate coastline includes landmarks like Foggy Point, illustrating a maritime environment where access was primarily by water. The absence of roads or permanent settlements within these forest boundaries underscores the wilderness character of the area, where land use was dictated by the timber and fishing potential of the National Forest system.
