About this map

The Gulf of Alaska dominates this maritime survey, showcasing a scattered archipelago within the expansive Tongass National Forest. The landscape is defined by its isolation, where named outcroppings and small landmasses like Timbered Island and Hendida Island provide the only navigational markers. The pattern of these features, from the clustered Maurelle Islands to the solitary Feather Rock, reveals the intricate and hazardous coastline of the Prince of Wales-Hyder census area.

Maritime history is etched into the names of these landforms, including Emerald Island and the Wood Islands. Further south, the map identifies Favorite Island and the Twin Islands, which sit alongside distinctive navigational hazards like Raso Rock and Epsilon Rock. This contemporary record preserves the official nomenclature for these remote geographic features as they were documented in the early twenty-first century.
