Point Baker and Port Protection anchor the northern coastline of Prince of Wales Island in this contemporary look at the Alexander Archipelago. This portion of the Tongass National Forest is defined by a labyrinth of inlets and small islands, including Joe Mace Island and Jackson Island. The landscape transitions from the marine-facing Sumner Strait to the high elevations of Flicker Ridge, where specialized forest roads and trails like the Flicker Ridge Trl provide access to the interior. Further south, the settlement at Labouchere Bay sits near distinctive coastal landmarks like Protection Head and White Bluff. The intricate network of forest service spurs, such as the Memorial Beach system and North Prince of Wales Road, reflects the modern balance of maritime commerce and timber management in this isolated maritime environment.
