About this map

Tongass National Forest dominates this coastal Alaskan landscape, where the Chichagof Island coastline is fragmented into a complex network of bays, harbors, and islands. The maritime geography is anchored by Mirror Harbor and Portlock Harbor, protected waters that have historically served as essential refuges for vessels navigating the outer coast. Significant elevations like Pinnacle Peak and Mine Mtn rise abruptly from the shoreline, while freshwater systems including the Stag River and the curiously named Goon Dip River drain the interior glacially-carved valleys. Human presence is marked by isolated footpaths such as Drypass Trl and Goulding Trl, indicating the limited overland access characteristic of this maritime wilderness. The distribution of named rocks and islands like Fairway Rock and Fleming Island highlights the navigational hazards along the entrance to Davison Bay.
