About this map

Wolfe Cabin sits along the northern shore of Woewodski Harbor, providing a rare named man-made landmark in this maritime wilderness. The landscape is defined by the intricate coastal inlets of the Tongass National Forest, where steep terrain drops directly into the Gulf of Alaska. Deep water channels like Eliza Harbor and Chapin Bay cut into the shoreline, creating a complex network of points and passages. Navigation is the primary theme of the geography here, with numerous landmarks such as Point Napean and Liesnoi Island marking the transition between protected harbors and the open Pacific Ocean. The presence of North Passage and South Passage indicates the vital transit corridors used to navigate around the various islands and peninsulas that characterize this portion of the Alexander Archipelago.
