San Fernando Island and a dense archipelago of the Tongass National Forest define this coastal landscape in the Prince of Wales-Hyder Census Area. The intricate shoreline is marked by prominent maritime landmarks such as Point Polocano and Fern Point, with navigation through the San Christoval Channel and Cruz Pass dictated by numerous hazards. Marine features including Larzatita Island Reef, San Christoval Rock, and Wadleigh Rock emphasize the area's maritime complexity. Small landmasses like Rosary Island, Sombrero Island, and the cluster known as The Witnesses are scattered throughout San Alberto Bay. This survey captures the topographical nuances of the Alexander Archipelago's uninhabited reaches, where the interaction of tides and timbered islands creates a challenging environment for mariners and a pristine sanctuary within the national forest system.
