About this map

Cape Northumberland anchors the northeastern corner of this coastal survey, marking a rugged point where the shoreline meets the open waters. Much of the land area is protected within the Tongass National Forest, which covers the northern islands and mainland fringes. The maritime character of the region is defined by the Dixon Entrance, a critical waterway separating southern Alaska from British Columbia. Small, distinct features like Vancouver Island, White Rock, and West Rock serve as navigation markers across the vast expanse of the Pacific Ocean. This area represents a remote portion of the Tongass National Forest, where the landscape is almost entirely defined by its relation to the sea, showing the intricate coastline before it gives way to the deep ocean soundings.
