About this map

Prince William Sound dominates this late-twentieth-century study of the northern reaches of Montague Island. Situated within the Chugach National Forest, the landscape is defined by its maritime connections, with the Alaska Marine Highway cutting across the sound north of the island. The topography shows a rugged coastal environment where tidal inlets like Stockdale Harbor and Zaikof Bay provided shelter for early mariners and later Forest Service operations.

Evidence of local activity is found in small clearings and infrastructure, including a Cabin (FS) and a Fish Pass (FS) near Rocky Bay. Notable coastal landmarks such as Graveyard Point and Montague Point anchor the shoreline, while the presence of Green Island across the Montague Strait illustrates the complex archipelago of this region. The absence of roads or trails on the island, as noted in the margin, emphasizes the isolation of these wilderness outposts.
