About this map

Prince of Wales Island dominates this coastal landscape within the Tongass National Forest, showing the intricate shoreline where the Pacific meets the Alaskan wilderness. The deep waters of Klakas Inlet separate the main landmass from smaller outcrops like Kassa Island and Klakas Island. This area is characterized by narrow waterways and sheltered anchorages such as Clam Cove, Ruth Bay, and Klinkwan Cove. Coastal landmarks provide essential navigation points for the region, including Shipwreck Point to the west and Gusdagane Points to the east. The terrain rises sharply from the water to summits like Biscuit Knob, reflecting the dense, undeveloped forest environment of the Alexander Archipelago. This modern survey provides an exact record of these maritime features and landform boundaries as they existed in the early twenty-first century.
