San Fernando Island dominates this coastal survey of the Alexander Archipelago, revealing a complex shoreline within the Tongass National Forest. The landscape is defined by its maritime geography, where narrow passages like Portillo Channel and San Christoval Channel separate the primary landmass from numerous smaller outcrops such as Animas Island and the Blanquizal Islands. The map detail follows the intricate indentations of the coast, noting features like Garcia Cove and Aguirre Bay, which provide natural shelters along the Pacific edge. This record of the Prince of Wales-Hyder Census Area highlights the topographical variety of the island, from the low-lying Abreojo Rocks to named points such as Point Santa Lucia and Point San Pasqual that served as critical navigation markers for vessels moving through these northern waters.
