The Tongass National Forest encompasses this intricate coastal landscape within the Sitka City and Borough, where the rugged archipelago meets the Gulf of Alaska. Navigational passages such as Imperial Passage and South Passage thread between numerous landmasses, including the prominent Hill Island, Hogan Island, and Herbert Graves Island. The maritime character of the region is defined by complex shorelines featuring Portlock Harbor and Kukkan Bay. Numerous small outcroppings and hazards like White Sisters, Minnie Reef, and Snipe Rock dot the coastal waters, illustrating the challenging geography of the Alexander Archipelago. This survey provides a contemporary view of the region's protected wilderness and its labyrinthine waterways before they transition into the open sea at Cape Edward.
