About this map

Prince of Wales Island dominates this portion of the Tongass National Forest, characterized by a complex network of waterways and timber-management infrastructure. The geography is defined by narrow channels like Dry Pass and the El Capitan Passage, which separate the main landmass from smaller features such as Fontaine Island. High-elevation points including Perue Peak and Red Bay Mtn rise above the coastal lowlands, providing significant relief across the island's interior. A system of forest roads and trails, such as the 2080000 Rd Big Creek Trl and the Hole In Wall Spur TW, indicates the ongoing intersection of remote wilderness with industrial access. These routes connect inland basins containing Sutter Lake and El Capitan Lake to the tidal waters, reflecting the logistical patterns of Southeast Alaska's maritime and forest-based economy.
