Mining operations and remote coastal settlements define this mid-century look at Prince of Wales Island. Centered on the intricate coastline of the Kasaan Peninsula and the reaches of Thorne Bay, the landscape is marked by a legacy of resource extraction, with numerous sites such as the Salt Chuck Mine, Rush and Brown Mine, and Haida Mine dotting the interior. These locations, alongside others like the Poor Man Mine, suggest a period of intense prospecting and geological interest in the Tongass National Forest.
