About this map

Hawkins Island and Hinchinbrook Island dominate this coastal survey, separated by the narrow Hawkins Island Cutoff as it opens into the Gulf Of Alaska. The landscape is defined by the protected waters of Boswell Bay and Kenny Cove, which serve as natural harbors on the northeastern edge of Hinchinbrook Island. Transport infrastructure is surprisingly present in this maritime setting, marked by the Boswell Bay Airport and Strawberry Point Airport, which provide vital access to these forested island interiors. Much of the land falls under the protection of the Chugach National Forest, where numerous streams like Hawkins Cr and Palugvik Cr drain into the sound. Notable coastal landmarks including Shirttail Point, Boswell Rock, and Point Bentinck outline a complex shoreline that has long supported local fishing and aviation activities in the Prince William Sound region.
