About this map

Tongass National Forest dominates this coastal landscape in the Alexander Archipelago, showing a wilderness defined by its intricate shoreline and deep glacial inlets. The map illustrates the narrow waterways connecting Port Frederick and Tenakee Inlet, where The Narrows provides a passage through the dense forest terrain. A network of forest service routes, including 15 Mile and several numbered spurs, penetrate the wooded interior, likely serving the timber interests or recreation within the federal land. Coastal features such as Salt Lake Bay, Salt Chuck, and Midway Island highlight the importance of maritime access in this region. The boundary between the Hoonah-Angoon Census Area and Sitka Borough bisects the southern waters, marking the administrative divisions of this sparsely settled coastal environment.
