About this map

The glaciated coastline of Port Wells and Harriman Fiord defines this 1995 revision of a mid-century survey. The map details a landscape where industrial efforts and natural preservation overlap, featuring the Granite Mine near Hobo Bay and the Lansing Mine south of Pigot Bay. Evidence of earlier activity is noted by Ruins near Bettles Bay and a Logging Camp near Passage Canal.

The presence of federal and state management is prominent, with several wilderness facilities including the Harrison Lagoon Cabin (FS), a Communication Site (USCG), and an Aqueduct Diversion Channel (FS). The map also identifies numerous recreation sites such as Entry Cove State Marine Park and Decision Point State Marine Park, showing the transition of this maritime corridor from a mining and logging frontier to a protected coastal resource within the Chugach National Forest.
