About this map

Montague Island dominates the southeastern quadrant of this coastal survey, where the northern tip of the landmass meets the waters of Prince William Sound. The coastline is heavily indented with protected waters such as Rocky Bay and Stockdale Harbor, indicating a landscape shaped by maritime navigation and the natural shelter provided by the island's many coves. To the west, Green Island sits isolated in the Montague Strait, which separates these landforms from the mainland.

A single structure, the Taguć Cabin, is noted on the northern shore of the island, suggesting very limited human settlement in this part of the Chugach National Forest during the mid-20th century. Named landmarks like Graveyard Point and Gilmour Point emphasize a geography defined by its relation to the sea, where deep-water bays like Zaikof Bay and Port Chalmers provide the primary points of access.
