About this map

Pybus Bay and the surrounding coastline of the Tongass National Forest dominate this maritime survey of the Hoonah-Angoon region. The intricate shoreline of Admiralty Island is punctuated by protected anchorages like Cannery Cove and Donkey Bay, which serve as vital points of interest for historical coastal navigation. The waterway divides into the West Channel and opens toward the Gulf of Alaska, framing a series of scattered landforms including Long Island and the San Juan Islands.

Remote land-water interfaces characterize this area, where deep inlets like Henrys Arm cut into the dense forest terrain. Small geographical landmarks such as Grave Island and Elliott Island offer specific points of reference for those tracing historical maritime routes or local fishing grounds in the waters of the Pacific Ocean. This map illustrates the complex archipelago structure of Southeast Alaska before significant modern development, focusing on the natural contours and named maritime features.
