About this map

Port Gravina and Sheep Bay dominate this coastal survey of the Chugach National Forest region, reflecting the intricate maritime geography of Prince William Sound as recorded in 1950. The landscape is defined by its deep fjords and narrow waterways, including Canoe Passage and the southern reaches of Orca Bay. These waters were vital for navigation and access to the interior, where features like Sahlin Falls and Sahlin Lake are tucked into the steep coastal drainages. Notable maritime landmarks such as Gatherer Rock and Piledriver Rock served as essential navigational markers for those traversing Orca Inlet. Small coves like Comfort Cove and Whiskey Cove provide evidence of the sheltered anchorages that supported local activity along these shores. This 1:63,360 scale study, updated with mid-1980s data, documents the persistent natural character of the Alaskan coastline before modern development altered its remote reaches.
