Prince of Wales Island is documented here through a complex network of forest management and industrial transit in the mid-1990s. The landscape is defined by the Thorne River and Karta River systems, where the map details numerous Forest Service facilities such as the Control Lake Cabin and the Rio Roberts Fish Pass. A legacy of resource extraction is evident at the Lucky Nell Mine, while logging activity is implied by the extensive road network including the Salt Chuck Road. The transition from active working forest to protected lands is marked by the Karta River Wilderness and the Maybeso Experimental Forest, showing the shift in land use priorities during this era. High-elevation landmarks like Rush Pk and Granite Mtn anchor the topography above a series of remote lakes including Black Bear Lake and Salmon Lake.
