About this map

Chenega Island and the rugged shoreline of western Prince William Sound define this coastal landscape, revised to reflect conditions at the turn of the millennium. The map documents the Chenega (Site) and a nearby Village at the foot of Chenega Peak, marking a significant location for local history and genealogy. The maritime character of the region is evident in the Marine Highway (Summer Route) cutting through Knight Island Passage, connecting isolated points like Port Audrey and various Cannery locations.

Industrial and navigational infrastructure appears alongside the natural features of the Chugach National Forest, including the New Year Islands Lighthouse Reserve and a private Fishpass (PVT). From the high reaches of Eshamy Peak to the sheltered waters of Snug Harbor, the map traces a complex network of bays and lagoons, such as Eshamy Lagoon and Drier Bay, that supported the region's fishing and maritime economy.
