The international boundary between the United States of America and Canada slices diagonally through this high-altitude landscape, marking a remote section of the frontier. Within the Hoonah-Angoon Census Area, the terrain is defined by the steep, glaciated slopes of the Tongass National Forest. This 2017 survey illustrates the stark isolation of the borderlands, where the lack of roads or established settlements emphasizes a wilderness governed by topography. The map detail highlights the intersection of international diplomacy and physical geography, showing how the surveyed line traverses the high ridges and peaks above the Taku River region.
