Whale Head Island and the northern reaches of Heceta Island dominate this coastal survey of the Prince of Wales-Hyder region. Situated within the Tongass National Forest, the landscape is defined by the intricate waterways of Iphigenia Bay and Davidson Inlet, where tidal features like Slide Reef and Black Rock present significant maritime landmarks. On the interior of the islands, short access routes such as Cone Lake and the Cone Lake Spur suggest localized activity near Cone Bay. The map provides a precise view of this remote archipelago, documenting the relationship between the elevated terrain at Whale Head and the surrounding coastline, including prominent points like Cape Lynch and smaller outcrops like Losa Island and Whale Rock.
