About this map

Knight Island and Green Island dominate this coastal survey of Prince William Sound, illustrating a landscape defined by deep fjords and mineral exploration. The presence of several Mines near Iron Mountain and Drier Bay indicates early twentieth-century industrial activity focused on copper or iron extraction along the eastern shore. Small clusters of Cabins near Gibbon Anchorage provide evidence of seasonal maritime habitation and the reliance on sheltered waters like Snug Harbor and Marsha Bay for refuge. The intricate coastline, marked by features such as the Bay of Isles and Herring Bay, reveals a complex network of passages including Lower Passage and Foul Pass. These waterways served as vital corridors for vessels navigating between the larger islands and Montague Strait during the mid-century era.
