About this map

Sonyakay Ridge and the Wukuklook highlands dominate this coastal portion of the Tongass National Forest along the eastern edge of Chichagof Island. The landscape is defined by the steep transition from timbered ridges down to the Gulf of Alaska, with the shoreline marked by prominent features such as Flints Point and the sweep of Wukuklook Beach.

Evidence of the region's industrial potential is noted by the Hoonah Gypsum road, which tracks toward the interior near Gypsum Cr. Several significant water bodies indent the coast, including the sheltered Iyoukeen Cove to the south and False Bay further north. Freshwater drainages like Iyouktug Cr and Wukuklook Cr cut through the forest, illustrating the drainage patterns of this maritime environment.
