2021 Map of Craig C-2 SE

About this map

The coastal settlement of Kasaan anchors this 2021 study of the eastern shore of Prince of Wales Island. Located along Kasaan Bay, the village is the primary point of human activity on the Kasaan Peninsula, where the Kasaan Road provides the sole overland connection through the heavily forested interior. This landscape is defined by its deep saltwater inlets and protected anchorages like Mills Bay and Widtun Harbor, which reflect the region's long-standing reliance on maritime transport and fishing. The topography rises sharply from the shore to prominent peaks such as Jacobs Mtn and Kasaan Mtn, while interior freshwater bodies like Copper Center Lake and Lindeman Lake sit tucked within the vast boundaries of the Tongass National Forest. The map also details several smaller landforms and points of interest including Sunny Hat Point and the outlying Kasaan Island to the south.
