About this map

Whiting River and the Speel River dominate this coastal Alaskan landscape within the Juneau City and Borough. This 1996 revision, based on mid-century topography and 1990s imagery, shows a region defined by its glacial drainages and towering peaks. The protected lands of the Tracy Arm - Fords Terror Wilderness extend into the southeastern portion of the map, while the Tongass National Forest covers much of the remaining terrain.

Notable summits like Snow Tower rise above the river valleys, where water bodies such as Indian Lake, Crescent Lake, and Tease Lake gather. Coastal landmarks like Whiting Point and Ox Point mark the transition from the river deltas to the larger inlets. The mapping reflects a period of modern survey accuracy, documenting the complex topography and hydrological patterns of Southeast Alaska before the turn of the millennium.
