About this map

Seymour Canal dominates this coastal landscape, cutting a deep waterway between the forested slopes of the Tongass National Forest. The map details the intricate shoreline where the Gulf of Alaska meets the Inside Passage, featuring several prominent landforms including Tiedeman Island and the smaller Faust Island and Dorn Island. Elevation rises sharply from the water's edge to reach significant heights at Randolph Peak and Morse Peak, illustrating the maritime-mountainous character of the Alexander Archipelago. Numerous marine features such as Winning Cove and the uniquely named Short Finger Bay suggest the importance of these waters for navigation and local transport. This survey provides a precise look at the undeveloped coastal wilderness within the unorganized borough during the early twenty-first century.
