Baranof Island presents a landscape defined by extreme relief and the dense drainage systems of the Tongass National Forest. This 2017 survey shows the intricate water network of the Katlian River as it cuts through the southwestern terrain, while the Glacial River drains the eastern slopes. Near the center of the sheet, Hogan Lake sits within a high-elevation basin, a notable landmark for those navigating this portion of the Sitka City and Borough. The map reveals the interplay between the massive alpine ridges and the coastal river valleys, documenting the geographic character of the Alexander Archipelago before modern developments or climate shifts potentially alter these glacial and fluvial paths.
