Cape Northumberland anchors the western edge of this coastal survey, marking a rugged point of land within the southernmost reaches of the Tongass National Forest. The landscape is dominated by the complex archipelagos and maritime passages of the Pacific Ocean, where small landmasses like Kelp Island and the Sister Islands provide refuge and navigational landmarks. The presence of the Kelp Island Anchorage suggests the historical and continued importance of these sheltered waters for vessels navigating the remote Alaskan coastline. To the east, East Island stands separated by open water, while the isolated Yellow Rocks rise from the sea to the south, highlighting the maritime hazards and natural beauty of the Ketchikan Gateway region.
