The landscape around Area B is rugged, rain-soaked conifer forest broken by sheltered inlets on northern Vancouver Island, which has shaped both the scattered settlement pattern and local economy. Near Quatsino Sound, this sparsely populated part of the Regional District of Mount Waddington is connected more readily by water routes and forestry roads than by urban corridors. Forestry and commercial fishing have long been important to the North Island economy. The surrounding territory lies within the traditional lands of the Quatsino First Nation, one of the Kwakwa̱ka̱ʼwakw peoples.
