About this map

Stephens Passage dominates this maritime landscape of Southeast Alaska, where the waters of Port Snettisham meet the mainland. The shoreline is defined by prominent coastal markers including Point Styleman to the north and Point Anmer further south, providing essential navigation points for the region's historical fishing and transport lanes. Much of the terrestrial terrain is protected as part of the Tongass National Forest, showing a coastline that remains largely undeveloped and primarily influenced by natural tidal and glacial forces.

Small geographic details like Mist Island and the isolated Twin Point offer specific points of interest for maritime historians and those studying the intricate topography of the Alexander Archipelago. The boundary between the Juneau Borough Hoonah-Angoon Census Area cuts diagonally across the channel, illustrating the administrative divisions of this coastal wilderness. The presence of Misty Cr suggests the small, vital freshwater drainage patterns typical of these coastal fjords.
