About this map

Eliza Harbor and Woewodski Harbor define this coastal reach of the Tongass National Forest, where the intricate shoreline of the Alexander Archipelago is mapped in modern detail. The terrain is characterized by sharp coastal features and numerous maritime landmarks, including Point Napean and Sharp Point at the southern terminus. A notable human element is the presence of Wolfe Cabin, located near the sheltered waters of Woewodski Harbor, suggesting a remote outpost or seasonal residence in this heavily forested environment.

Waterways like the North Passage separate Liesnoi Island from the mainland, creating a complex network of bays such as Chapin Bay. These geographic details provide a precise look at the points and harbors used by maritime navigators and researchers studying the coastal ecology of the Sitka-Hoonah-Angoon area. The high-resolution contour lines and forest designations illustrate the intersection of protected wilderness and the specific named points that serve as local navigation markers.
