About this map

Todd stands on the eastern shore of Chichagof Island, overlooking the waters where Peril Strait meets Lindenberg Harbor. This coastal landscape within the Tongass National Forest is defined by the narrow waterways separating major landmasses, including Baranof Island to the south and Catherine Island to the southeast. The geography of the region dictates movement via maritime routes and a few specialized forest tracks like the Sitkoh Lake Spur Road and the Catherine Island Whale route.

Water remains the central feature of the terrain, from the broad expanse of Hanus Bay to the inland depths of Sitkoh Lake and Lake Eva. Landmarks such as False Lindenberg Head and Point Moses provide critical navigational points along the shore, while the Moore Mountains rise sharply from the coastline. The map records the complex shoreline of Portage Arm and the isolated position of Dead Tree Island, illustrating the intricate archipelago environment of the Alexander Archipelago.
