About this map

Prince William Sound dominates this coastal landscape, where the tides meet the southern edges of the Chugach National Forest. The geography is defined by a complex network of inlets and sheltered waters, including Derickson Bay in the north and the neighboring Papoose Cove and Squaw Bay. These coastal indentations are guarded by numerous named landforms such as Ragged Point, reflecting a maritime environment where water and land are inextricably linked.

Scattered islands across the sound provide distinctive landmarks for navigation and local history. The map identifies the centrally located Bald Head Chris Island and the remote Dutch Group to the south, alongside Fool Island and the descriptive East Flank Island and West Flank Island. The absence of developed roads or settlements emphasizes the wilderness character of this Alaskan territory, preserved within the national forest boundaries.
