Tongass National Forest dominates the southern landscape of this 2021 survey, where the dense timber of the Alaskan panhandle meets the coastline. The terrain is defined by steep elevation gains, marked by the flow of Gunn Creek as it descends toward the northern shore. Small landforms like Schooner Island sit just off the coast, providing navigational landmarks along the water's edge. This modern digital survey utilizes National Elevation Dataset contours to chart the complex topography within the Public Land Survey System grids, including t56s r73e and t55s r74e. The map reflects a landscape primarily dedicated to federal forest management, where the intersection of maritime features and protected inland wilderness remains the defining characteristic.
