About this map

Craig and Klawock anchor this coastal survey of Prince of Wales Island, where the maritime landscape of the Tongass National Forest meets the intricate waterways of Southeast Alaska. The map documents the vital infrastructure connecting these communities, from the residential corridors of Bayview Boulevard and Anchorage Street to the regional hub at Klawock Airport. The geography is defined by a dense network of islands and passages, including Wadleigh and Peratrovich Island, which shield the waters of Klawock Inlet.

Evidence of the area's salmon-driven economy and indigenous heritage is visible through features like the Klawock River, which drains Klawock Lake into the sea. Navigational points such as North Entrance, South Entrance, and Cemetery Point mark the transition from open water to protected harbors. This record captures the modern layout of these historic Tlingit settlements and fishing ports as they appeared in the early 21st century.
