Kosciusko Island and Heceta Island anchor this coastal survey, where the maritime topography of the Alexander Archipelago is mapped with precision from late 1940s aerial photography. The geography is defined by the deep waters of Davidson Inlet and Sea Otter Sound, surrounding a complex network of smaller landmasses like Marble Island and Orr Island. This region, within the Tongass National Forest, reveals a mid-century economy built on resource extraction and water-based logistics, evidenced by the Seaplane Base and Mine near Edna Bay.
