About this map

Prince of Wales Island is documented here during the late 2010s, showing a landscape defined by timber management and waterway access within the Tongass National Forest. The map centers on the reach of the Thorne River, including the Thorne River N Flats and its confluence with the Pacific Ocean at Thorne Bay. A complex network of forest service and logging roads, such as the Kasaan Road and Lake Ellen Road, provides access to numerous interior water bodies including Angel Lake, Lake Ellen, and Power Lake.

A notable recreational feature is the Honker Divide Canoe Route, which threads through the center of the sheet. To the south, the settlement at Salt Chuck sits near the head of the bay, while topographical landmarks like North Pole Hill and Falls Creek Ridge rise above the drainage basins. The map captures the industrial and natural geography of this coastal Alaskan region, showing the infrastructure supporting both the logging industry and wilderness access.
