About this map

Tongass National Forest dominates this Admiralty Island landscape, characterized by an intricate network of freshwater lakes and drainage systems. The prominent Hasselborg Lake serves as a central hub for the region's hydrography, connected to surrounding waters via Hasselborg Creek. The map documents two specific portage or overland routes, Hasselborg to McKinney and Hasselborg to Guerin, which illustrate the historical and practical movement between these isolated water bodies. These paths provide a tangible link between McKinney Lake, Lake Guerin, and the larger Hasselborg system. Smaller basins like Sikady Lake, Beaver Lake, and Lake Alexander are scattered throughout the interior, while the Molo River and Bear Cr drain the higher elevations. The absence of modern infrastructure highlights the preserved wilderness state of this portion of the Unorganized Borough in the early 21st century.
