About this map

Windham sits at the head of a long, deep-water inlet within the Tongass National Forest, illustrating the maritime-dependent settlement patterns of Southeast Alaska. This coastal landscape is dominated by the tidal reach of Windham Bay, which constricts at The Narrows before opening into a sheltered inner basin. The drainage network is dense, with Taylor Cr flowing from Taylor Lake to the north, while the Chuck River and Spruce Creek enter the bay from the eastern timberlands. The terrain is defined by steep elevation changes typical of the region's fjords, with several other watercourses like Sylvia Cr and Slate Cr carving through the surrounding forest. The map provides a look at the interplay between the Pacific coastline and the vast national forest interior during the early 21st century.
