About this map

Prince of Wales Island and the waters of Clarence Strait dominate this mid-1990s landscape, reflecting an era where resource extraction and conservation boundaries coexisted. The City of Thorne Bay appears as a center of local infrastructure, featuring a Water Treatment Plant and Sanitary Landfill, while the City of Kasaan sits further south on the Kasaan Peninsula. The industrial legacy of the region is evident through numerous historical workings, including the Salt Chuck Mine, Rush and Brown Mine, and the Poor Man Mine.

Logistics and wilderness management are central themes, seen in the path of the Thorne River Road and the Alaska Marine Highway maritime route. Large protected areas like the Karta River Wilderness and the Maybeso Experimental Forest frame the map, connected by the Karta River Trail. The presence of an Aerial Tramway near the southern boundary points to specialized industrial transport used in this coastal terrain.
