Tongass National Forest covers the small fragments of land that border the expansive waters of the Pacific Ocean and the Gulf of Alaska in this coastal Alaskan survey. The maritime character of the region is defined by the intersection of open ocean and the sheltered passage of Chatham Strait. Geographically, the area is split by the administrative boundary of the Hoonah-Angoon Census Area and Sitka Borough. The few terrestrial landmarks, such as Parker Point in the northeast and Peninsular Point in the southwest, serve as essential navigational markers for the rugged coastline. The map primarily documents the vast hydrographic expanse of the region, emphasizing the isolation of these coastal points within the federally protected forest lands.
