Tongass National Forest dominates this coastal landscape on Prince of Wales Island, where the island's southern peninsula reaches into the sea. The 2018 topography shows a high, wooded interior marked by Needle Peak, which rises steeply from the surrounding terrain. To the south, the land narrows significantly toward Helm Point, a prominent coastal feature that defines the local shoreline. On the eastern side of the peninsula, China Cove provides a protected water feature tucked against the forest slopes. This map records the late 20th-century survey of the uninhabited wilderness and coastal boundaries before more modern developments, showing the pure geographic character of the Alexander Archipelago.
