About this map

Stephens Passage dominates the western half of this maritime landscape, serving as a primary waterway within the Tongass National Forest. The map centers on the dramatic peninsula ending at Cape Fanshaw and Canoe Point, which separates the open passage from the sheltered waters of Fanshaw Bay. To the north, Whitney Island and the Storm Islands provide navigational landmarks for those traversing the Cleveland Passage. The terrain is defined by the steep rises of the Fanshaw Range along the eastern coastline. Near Duck Point and the complex shoreline of East Spit and West Spit, the map identifies the location of South Village, a significant indicator of localized settlement patterns in this coastal environment. A jurisdictional boundary also cuts across the southern waters, marking the line between the Petersburg Borough and Prince of Wales-Hyder Census Area.
