Tongass National Forest encompasses this coastal landscape, where the tides of Keku Strait meet a complex shoreline of points and offshore hazards. The interior terrain is defined by steep elevations and significant drainage systems, notably Gunnuk Cr in the southeast. While devoid of modern towns or settlements, the map provides a precise record of the natural landmarks essential for navigation and resource management in this part of Southeast Alaska. Prominent summits like Turn Mtn rise above the timbered slopes, serving as critical sightlines for those traversing the strait. The northern coastline is particularly intricate, marked by the rocky protrusion of Pinta Point and the nearby East Pinta Rocks, which present a rugged boundary between the forest and the sea.
