About this map

Chichagof Island defines the dramatic maritime landscape shown in this contemporary topographical record, where the protected waters of Hidden Cove and Suloia Bay meet the open Gulf of Alaska. Managed within the Tongass National Forest, the region is characterized by steep coastal gradients rising directly from sea level to high ridges, punctuated by inland water bodies like Lake Suloia. Narrow passages such as Kakul Narrow and smaller inlets like Bradshaw Cove illustrate the complex shoreline of this archipelago. The drainage patterns of the island are exemplified by Leo Cr, which flows through the dense forest into the northwestern coast. This document provides a precise account of the natural topography and established forest boundaries in a region where human settlement is secondary to the coastal wilderness.
