Prince William Sound defines the western expanse of this coastal study, where the waters meet the northwestern shores of Hinchinbrook Island. The terrain is characterized by the high elevations of the Chugach National Forest, which covers the southern landmass and features prominent coastal landmarks. Along the northeast coast, The Seven Sisters stand as a series of distinctive landforms above the shoreline. The island’s irregular coast is carved by small protected waters, including Shelter Bay and Deer Cove, while Shelter Point serves as a navigational marker for those moving through the sound. This map provides a detailed view of the interaction between the deep waters of the sound and the steep, forested slopes of the island before any significant modern development altered the shoreline.
