About this map

Duke Island, a prominent landmass within the Alexander Archipelago, dominates this coastal survey at the southern edge of the Alaska panhandle. The island’s interior is defined by high ground rising toward Mt Lazaro in the southeast, while the surrounding waters of the Pacific Ocean are punctuated by treacherous navigational hazards such as Tamgas Reef, Julius Reef, and the Vegas Islands.

Administrative boundaries slice through the maritime landscape, with the northern waters of the Felice Strait falling under the Annette Island Reserve. Much of the island itself is managed as part of the Tongass National Forest. The coastline is heavily indented with sheltered anchorages like Ryus Bay, Pond Bay, and Dog Bay, illustrating the complex shoreline of this maritime wilderness where land and sea are inextricably linked.
