About this map

Cape Fanshaw and the surrounding waters of Stephens Passage define this maritime landscape in Southeast Alaska. The map details the coastal boundary of the Tongass National Forest, illustrating the complex network of islands and passages that characterize the Alexander Archipelago. Navigation points like Bartlett Point and the low-lying Storm Islands are essential features for understanding the historical transit through these protected waterways. To the south, the deep reach of Frederick Sound meets the shore at Canoe Point, where the Petersburg Borough Prince of Wales-Hyder Census Area boundary cuts across the sound. This survey captures the coastline before modern changes, documenting landforms such as Whitney Island and the narrow Cleveland Passage used by mariners navigating the inner reaches of Fanshaw Bay.
