About this map

Tongass National Forest dominates this coastal Alaskan landscape, where the high peaks of the coastal range meet the waters of the Gulf of Alaska. The map centers on the dramatic geography surrounding Glacier Point, a prominent coastal feature where the Glacier River meets the tidal flats. To the south, Sullivan Mtn rises as a significant landmark above the forested terrain. This survey illustrates the intricate relationship between the mountainous interior and the intricate waterways of the Lynn Canal. The mapping detail reflects the complex glacial and fluvial processes that define the Haines Borough coastline, capturing the precise boundaries of the National Forest and the transition from alpine summits to maritime environments.
