About this map

Haines stands as the primary hub of this maritime landscape, situated where the Deshu Isthmus connects the Chilkat Peninsula to the mainland. The area's military and transport history is prominent, featuring the historic Fort William H Seward and the inland reach of the Haines Highway. To the west, the Dalton Trail marks an older path through the terrain near the Mc Clellan Flats and the Chilkat River.

The coast is dotted with legacy sites like Pyramid Harbor and the smaller settlement of Yindastuki near the Haines Airport. Land use is defined by extensive conservation and resource zones, including Chilkat State Park and the Portage Cove State Recreation Site. From the tidal mud of Carrs Cove to the depths of Chilkoot Inlet, the map documents a community deeply tied to its glacial waters and coastal passages.
