About this map

Yakutat sits at the nexus of the North Pacific and the protected waters of Monti Bay, serving as a vital maritime and aviation hub for the eastern Gulf of Alaska during the mid-20th century. The settlement is anchored by infrastructure like the Yakutat Airport and a designated Seaplane Base at Shipyard Cove, reflecting its importance for regional transport. The geography is defined by a dense archipelago including Khantaak Island and Knight Island, separated by intricate passages such as Johnstone Passage and Hatchet Pass.
