The southeastern coast of Prince of Wales Island is defined here by the intricate shoreline of the Tongass National Forest. This 2021 survey focuses on a largely untouched wilderness within the Alexander Archipelago, where the waters of Cholmondeley Sound reach deep into the mountainous island interior. The eastern edge of the map reveals the South Arm Cholmondeley Sound, a major waterway for marine navigation and local ecology. Inland, the terrain is dominated by steep forested ridges drained by freshwater systems like Big Cr. The lack of road infrastructure and human settlements highlights the region's character as a protected natural resource and a sanctuary for Pacific Northwest coastal biodiversity.
