Admiralty Island dominates the southern reaches of this maritime landscape, where the dense wilderness of the Tongass National Forest meets the waters of the Chatham Strait. The topography is defined by sharp coastal points and sheltered inlets, most notably Point Gardner at the southwestern tip and the deeply recessed Surprise Harbor. These features demonstrate a coastal environment where navigation is dictated by the finger-like projections of land such as Bartlett Point and Walker Point. This 2021 survey illustrates the complex shoreline of the Hoonah-Angoon Census Area, providing a clear view of the natural harbors and rugged headlands that have long served as landmarks for coastal travel and maritime activity in the region.
