About this map

Kosciusko Island and the neighboring Warren Island dominate this coastal survey of the Alexander Archipelago. The landscape is defined by its deep-water channels and rugged maritime geography, where sheltered spots like Fishermans Harbor and Pole Anchorage provided essential refuge for early Alaskan mariners. The small settlement at Cape Pole stands as a focal point of human activity amidst the wilderness of the Tongass National Forest. On Warren Island, the terrain rises sharply to Warren Peak and Bald Peak, overlooking the Sumner Strait. Narrow maritime corridors such as Cosmos Pass and the aptly named Fake Pass navigate the complex cluster of islets near Whale Head Island, illustrating the intricate navigation required during this era of Alaskan coastal development.
