Chatham Strait divides this coastal Alaska landscape, separating the eastern shores of Baranof Island from the rugged coastline of Kuiu Island. In the early 1950s, the maritime industry of the region was concentrated at Washington Bay, where the Herring Reduction Plant and a dedicated Seaplane Base served as local hubs of activity. These features, along with the Washington Bay Light, highlight a period when seasonal industrial operations were vital to the economy of the Tongass National Forest.
