Chichagof Island dominates this 2021 topographic survey, showcasing a landscape defined by dramatic elevation changes within the Tongass National Forest. The map captures the interface between the coastal waters of the Gulf of Alaska and the intricate shoreline of North Arm Hoonah Sound. Small coastal features like Nelson Island are delineated along the southern edge, while the interior is marked by the complex topography of the Sitka borough and city boundary. This record provides a clear view of the wilderness character of the region, where the steep, forested slopes meet the tidal reaches of the Alexander Archipelago before modern development or significant infrastructure altered the drainage patterns.
