The Tongass National Forest dominates this Alaskan frontier, where the international boundary between the United States and Canada cuts diagonally across high-elevation ridges. The topography is defined by sharp vertical relief and ice-field drainages, most notably the Whiting River as it flows westward through glacial valleys. Near the northern edge of the map, Crescent Lake sits tucked into a high alpine basin, while to the southeast, Boundary Peak 79 stands as a primary surveying marker on the international line. This 2017 survey illustrates the complex jurisdictional borders where the Juneau Borough meets the Hoonah-Angoon Census Area, capturing a landscape defined by natural barriers rather than human infrastructure.
