The intricate coastal network of Southeast Alaska's Prince of Wales Island is documented in this contemporary survey, where the Tongass National Forest covers much of the land area. The map illustrates a complex geography of inlets and channels, including the protected waters of Polk Inlet and Skowl Arm. Near the northern edge, Kasaan Island sits within Kasaan Bay, while further south, smaller landmarks like West Sentinel Island and East Sentinel Island guide navigation. Significant freshwater features like Ives Lake and drainages such as Hundred Thousand Cr highlight the interior hydrology. The distribution of inlets like Little Goose Bay and Saltery Cove suggests a landscape defined by maritime access, common for the region's historical reliance on seasonal fishing and logging activities within the federal forest boundaries.
