About this map

Speel Arm and Port Snettisham define the aquatic center of this coastal Alaskan landscape, where the tides of the Pacific meet the steep rises of the Coast Mountains. This terrain is almost entirely encompassed by the Tongass National Forest, illustrating a wilderness largely untouched by permanent settlement or infrastructure. The waterway is punctuated by numerous named coastal landmarks, including Bride Point, Crib Point, and Bogert Point, which serve as critical navigational markers along the deep fjord-like passages.

Evidence of the area's geological and hydrological character is found in features like The Gorge and Prospect Cr, which drain the high elevations into protected waters such as Mallard Cove. Isolated landforms like Fannie Island and the jagged Sharp Point offer specific points of interest for maritime historians and those studying the intricate coastline of the Juneau City and Borough. The map provides a precise record of these natural features within the framework of the Public Land Survey System, including t43s r71e and surrounding townships.
