About this map

Naked Island and its neighboring landmasses dominate this section of Prince William Sound, where the maritime landscape is defined by deep inlets and narrow passages. As part of the Chugach National Forest, these islands remain largely undeveloped, showing the natural shoreline of the central sound. The map details several protected anchorages and waterways, including Cabin Bay and Outside Bay on the western side of Naked Island, and the elongated McPherson Bay to the east.

To the north, the smaller Storey Island and Peak Island are separated by the waters of Liljegren Passage. The absence of roads or permanent settlements emphasizes the character of this archipelago as a wilderness area for marine navigation and conservation. Coastal features like Bass Harbor at the southern tip of Naked Island provide critical points of reference for navigating the complex tidal reaches of McPherson Passage.
