Tongass National Forest dominates this coastal Alaska landscape, where the Chichagof Island coastline meets the Gulf of Alaska. The terrain is characterized by deep glacial indentations such as Long Bay and Seal Bay, which provide protected waters along the otherwise exposed shoreline. These maritime features are framed by significant elevations, including the Moore Mountains in the south and the peak of Sit' Twaayi to the northeast. This 2021 survey illustrates the complex relationship between the high coastal peaks and the maritime inlets within the Sitka City and Borough. The map reflects a landscape managed for conservation and wilderness, showing no significant permanent settlements but detailing the intricate topography of the Alexander Archipelago.
