About this map

The complex shoreline of Tongass National Forest dominates this coastal survey, where the deep glacial waters of Chichagof Island meet the Alexander Archipelago. The intricate network of fjords is defined by the North Arm and South Arm of Hoonah Sound, which segment the land into a series of steep-sided peninsulas. At the heart of these waters lies Moser Island, a significant landmass flanked by deep-water passages. Several protected inlets, including Douglass Bay, Patterson Bay, and Fick Cove, indent the coastline, indicating a landscape where maritime access is the primary mode of navigation. Apart from the natural geographic features like Reynard Point, the map reflects a purely wilderness environment managed by the U.S. Forest Service, devoid of permanent settlements or road infrastructure during this period.
