About this map

Chichagof Island serves as the focal point of this coastal survey, where the dense wilderness of the Tongass National Forest meets the intricate waterways of the Gulf of Alaska. The landscape is dominated by significant elevations such as Mt Lydonia and Whitestripe Mtn, which overlook a complex network of bays and inlets. Water features define the geography, from the interior Whitestripe Lake to the tidal reaches of Klag Bay and Black Bay. Numerous named islands including Leo Island, Port Island, and Paulina Island create a sheltered maritime environment along the western coast. This map illustrates the intersection of high alpine peaks and deep-water coves, typical of the Alexander Archipelago's maritime rainforest environment, providing a detailed record of the shoreline features like Frog Rock and Rose Point.
