About this map

Latouche Island and the surrounding Prince William Sound waterways reveal a specialized industrial landscape focused on copper mining and coastal processing. The settlement at Latouche serves as the focal point, situated near a series of mining operations including the Beatson Mine (Aband) and Blackbird Mine (Aband). This network of copper-rich land and deep-water passages supported a localized maritime economy, further evidenced by the San Juan Cannery and the settlement at Port Ashton on Evans Island. To the north, the massive Knight Island is bisected by numerous inlets such as Mummy Bay and Little Bay, while the Lighthouse Reserve at Pt Helen marks a critical navigation point. The presence of Girdwood (Aband) and various cabins scattered along the shoreline indicates a pattern of early 20th-century resource extraction and seasonal habitation that defined this reach of the Chugach National Forest.
