About this map

Perry Island and the surrounding reaches of Prince William Sound anchor this mid-1990s maritime survey, revealing a landscape defined by industrial fishing and protected coastal reserves. Along the southern shores, the Fish Hatchery (State) and a nearby Boat Ramp on Main Bay signal the active management of the region's aquatic resources. Evidence of shifting coastal industry appears on Perry Island, where a Private Fish Farm (Inactive) is noted near South Bay, while the Lighthouse Reserve marks a significant navigational footprint to the southwest.

The intricate coastline of Chugach National Forest is further detailed by numerous family-named or descriptive landmarks, such as Meares Point and the curious Above Tipping Point. The seasonal pulse of the region is traced by the Alaska Marine Highway (Summer Route), which threads through Lone Passage. This map provides a look at the infrastructure required to support both state-run fisheries and private maritime enterprise within the Sound during the late 20th century.
