About this map

Chichagof Island and the expansive Tenakee Inlet dominate this coastal landscape within the Tongass National Forest. The geography is defined by a intricate system of fjords and bays, including Long Bay, Seal Bay, and Saltery Bay. This 1990s revision by the USDA Forest Service highlights the management boundaries of the Hoonah-Sitka Ranger District and specialized conservation zones like the Lisianski River/Upper Hoonah Sound LUD II Management Area.

Marine navigation and wilderness infrastructure are evident through labels such as The Narrows, Midway Island, and the Salt Lake Bay Cabin(FS). The map also identifies industrial footprints such as the LTF(aband), providing a record of previous logging or transport activity before these sites were decommissioned. This transition from active resource extraction to forest management is a key characteristic of the Hoonah-Sitka City and Borough during the late twentieth century.
