About this map

Tongass National Forest dominates the western shoreline of this coastal Alaskan landscape, where the Admiralty Island National Monument meets the open waters of the Gulf of Alaska. The survey illustrates a transition from the wooded coastal fringe into the vast maritime expanse of the Pacific Ocean. Key navigational landmarks and coastal features include the sheltered waters of Little Pybus Bay and the isolated geography of Spruce Island to the east. A notable administrative boundary bisects the southern reaches of the map, marking the jurisdictional line between the Hoonah-Angoon Census Area and the Prince of Wales-Hyder Census Area. This chart serves as a primary record of the remote maritime interfaces and protected wilderness boundaries in southeast Alaska during the early twenty-first century.
