About this map

Kupreanof Island dominates the southern landscape of this coastal survey, where the peaks of the Bohemian Range rise sharply from the shoreline of Frederick Sound. Much of the terrestrial area is protected within the Tongass National Forest, reflecting the region's managed wilderness character in the early 21st century. The map illustrates a complex maritime environment at the intersection of the Petersburg Borough and Prince of Wales-Hyder Census Area. Small landforms such as the Portage Islands and West Point mark the transition from open water to the sheltered waters of Goose Cove, providing a detailed look at the island's jagged coastline and the bathymetry of the surrounding sound.
