Craig: Sunnahae Mountain
Craig straddles the lower slopes of Sunnahae Mountain on Prince of Wales Island in southeastern Alaska, and its coastal position has long tied the community to the sea. Set in the Tongass National Forest region, the town is framed by densely wooded terrain and the waters of the Alexander Archipelago. Commercial fishing and seafood processing have provided an economic and cultural foundation for Craig, while the community also serves people travelling between settlements across the island. Sunnahae Mountain gives the town an immediate sense of relief, its forested flanks rising close to homes and shoreline infrastructure. This is island Southeast Alaska on a human scale, where roads, boats, working waterfronts and forest meet along a narrow coastal margin.

Craig combines the practical rhythm of a fishing town with the remoteness of an island community in a way that reflects its position on Prince of Wales Island in Southeast Alaska. Set beside Klawock Inlet and surrounded by the Tongass National Forest, it is one of the principal settlements on an island marked by dense temperate rainforest, sheltered waterways and a road network rather than mainland highways. Commercial fishing has long shaped local life: Craig began in the early 20th century as a fish-salting operation founded by Craig Miller. Its harbour remains central to the town, serving fishing vessels and travellers moving through island communities.

Built around the homelands of Indigenous peoples and later linked by fur-trade and mining routes, Alaska grew into the largest state in the United States. These coordinates lie in the Interior, where the Tanana River crosses a country of broad lowlands, boreal forest and long winters. Alaska extends from the Gulf of Alaska to the Arctic Ocean and includes Denali, North America’s highest mountain. Athabascan communities remain central to the living cultural fabric of the interior. The Alaska Railroad reached Fairbanks in 1923, helping connect this remote region with the coast. Browse additional webcams from the surrounding area to extend your view of Interior Alaska.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
