Chugach National Forest encompasses the coastal wilderness of Hinchinbrook Island along the eastern reaches of Prince William Sound. The terrain is defined by steep maritime elevations and a complex shoreline where protected inlets like Shelter Bay and Deer Cove meet the open water. A series of prominent peaks known as The Seven Sisters stands watch over the sound's northern approaches near Shelter Point. This survey captures a landscape primarily untouched by modern infrastructure, emphasizing the natural hydrography and topographical boundaries of this remote island environment. The absence of roads or permanent settlements highlights the protected status of the national forest and the nautical character of the region, where access remains dependent on the tides and the sea.
