Tongass National Forest dominates the eastern coastline of this maritime reach, where the interior wilderness meets the open waters of the Gulf of Alaska and the Pacific Ocean. The coastal topography is defined by the prominent Marble Bluffs, which rise sharply along the shoreline north of Marble Cove. This area serves as a significant boundary point between the Hoonah-Angoon Census Area and Sitka Borough. The survey reveals a landscape almost entirely devoid of human infrastructure, focusing instead on the complex shoreline geometry and the steep elevation contours of the national forest land, providing a clear record of the natural coastline before further environmental or geological shifts occur.
