The Spanish Islands and several smaller islets emerge from the deep coastal waters in this remote maritime corner of the Tongass National Forest. The map details a complex archipelagic landscape defined by the navigational challenges of Decision Passage and the broad expanse of Sumner Strait. Land features are concentrated on the northern reaches of Prince of Wales Island, where Cora Point and Cora Island sit along the shoreline. This 2018 survey illustrates the untouched character of the Alaskan wilderness, showing no roads or permanent settlements, only the intricate topographic contours of the islands and the isolated Shrub Islet. This is a portrait of a landscape where the Pacific coastline meets the dense, protected forest of the Alexander Archipelago.
