Tongass National Forest encompasses this coastal Alaskan landscape, where the saltwater of Scenery Cove meets a vertical interior of high summits and glacial drainage. The map reveals a complex hydrological network defined by Cascade Creek and its namesake Cascade Creek Trl, which connects the larger Swan Lake to the tidal waters. To the north and south, the terrain is punctuated by family-named or descriptive peaks such as Elephants Head, Fighting John Peak, and Waterfall Peak. The interior contains several high-altitude water bodies, including Falls Lake and Scenery Lake, illustrating the post-glacial topography of the Cosmos Range. This 2024 data highlights the intricate coastline around Spray Island and the various forks of Scenery Creek, offering a detailed view of the wilderness interface between the mountains and the sea.
