About this map

Latouche Island dominates this coastal landscape where the Gulf of Alaska meets the southeastern reaches of Prince William Sound. The island’s interior is defined by sharp elevation changes, notably at Mt Beatson and Gibbon Peak, while its western coastline is punctuated by small settlements like Latouche and Chenega. The presence of the Glory Hole water feature near the northern coast suggests a history of resource extraction or significant geological depression typical of this mineral-rich region.

Freshwater systems including Fish Lake and the Wilson River drain toward Wilson Bay, while the eastern shore faces the open waters of the Montague Strait. Most of the land falls within the Chugach National Forest, illustrating a landscape managed for conservation and wilderness. The map details the transition from the protected waters of Sleepy Bay to the exposed southern peaks such as Reynolds Peak, providing a clear view of the maritime and terrestrial geography of the area.
