Tongass Island and its surrounding archipelago anchor this maritime landscape within the Tongass National Forest, where the coastal waters of the Pacific Ocean meet the intricate inlets of the Alaska Panhandle. The intricate shoreline is defined by hazardous navigation points such as Tongass Reef, Passage Rock, and Track Rock, guarding the entrance to Nakat Bay. To the south, Sitklan Island and Kanagunut Island overlook the Sitklan Passage, a critical waterway near the maritime boundary. The topography shifts from sea level to the prominent heights of Arm Mtn and Harbor Ridge, illustrating the steep, glaciated terrain of the region. This 2018 survey detail provides a clear view of the numerous points and islands, from Katakwa Point to Tingberg Island, that have historically shaped local navigation and traditional use in these waters.
