About this map

Tongass National Forest dominates the coastal landscape of Prince of Wales Island in this southern portion of the Alexander Archipelago. The terrain is characterized by a series of deep inlets and finger-like points along the eastern shore, including Kendrick Bay, Gardner Bay, and the sheltered waters of McLean Arm. These coastal features define the rugged maritime boundary where the island meets the Dixon Entrance and the open Pacific Ocean. This survey illustrates the intricate relationship between the land and the sea in Southeast Alaska, documenting the precise shoreline of landmarks like Island Point and McLean Point. The vast forested interior remains largely undeveloped, preserving a wilderness character defined by the federal forest boundaries of the early twenty-first century.
