About this map

Kruzof Island and the expansive reaches of the Tongass National Forest dominate this maritime landscape in Southeast Alaska. The map details a complex coastal environment where the Gulf of Alaska meets protected waterways like Salisbury Sound and Sukoi Inlet. The terrain is defined by its dramatic elevation changes and a network of islands including Baranof Island, Partofshikof Island, and the smaller Goloi Islands.

Transport and land use patterns are represented by forest infrastructure such as the Gilmer Bay Spur and Gilmer Spur 2, reflecting the area's history of resource management. Distinctive coastal landmarks, from Point Kakul to Scraggy Point, serve as vital navigational references for the surrounding waters. Hydrological features like Lake Surprise and the Eagle River further characterize this wilderness area's interior geography.
