Nutkwa Inlet and its surrounding coastal waterways dominate this landscape within the Tongass National Forest. The complex shoreline of Prince of Wales Island is defined by deep tidal passages including Hetta Inlet, Keete Inlet, and Hassiah Inlet. These interconnected waters created a critical maritime network for Southeast Alaska's early industry and travel. Several notable landforms mark the entrance to these bays, such as Nutkwa Point and Lime Point, while Keete Island and Mabel Island sit as prominent landmarks for navigation. Small coastal features like Mud Bay and Mellen Rock reflect the local nomenclature used by those working the timber and fishing grounds of this archipelago.
