About this map

Montague Island's southern coastline is the focus of this 1995 revision, showcasing a landscape where the Chugach National Forest meets the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge. The map details the remote coastal infrastructure of the mid-1990s, including a Communication Site and small outposts like Hanning 2 and a Resort near the western shore. The intricate hydrology of the island is well-documented, featuring the Nellie Martin River and its associated Nellie Martin River Cabin alongside the meandering Tortuous Creek.

The rugged eastern shore is defined by deep inlets and small islands, from Patton Bay down to Logjam Bay, where the Logjam Bay Cabin provides a point of reference. Researchers can trace the indefinite boundaries between forest and refuge lands near the Wooded Islands, including Tanker Island and Fish Island. From Cape Cleare to Neck Point, the map provides a look at the southernmost tip of the island as it transitions into the Gulf of Alaska and the open Pacific Ocean.
