About this map

Chugach National Forest dominates this coastal landscape, where high mountain peaks descend sharply into the intricate inlets of the Prince William Sound region. The terrain is defined by the massive Silver Glacier and notable summits like Mt Denson and Billygoat Mountain. Water defines every border, from the deep waters of Port Fidalgo to the sheltered recesses of Landlocked Bay and Galena Bay. This coastal geography created a natural isolation for early industrial efforts, evidenced by a solitary Mine located on the eastern shore of St Matthews Bay. The map captures a wilderness in transition, where names like Copper Mountain Peninsula and Vesuvius Valley hint at the geological and mineral interests that drew early 20th-century explorers and prospectors to these remote Alasken shores before the mid-century mapping effort.
