Hollis rests on a broad shoulder of Prince of Wales Island, a place where emerald forests spill down to meet the restless grey of the Tongass Narrows. It lies 201.2 miles south-south-east of Juneau, AK (from Juneau, AK: bearing 160°T), and is situated 18.0 miles east of Klawock. The air here is a constant, cool caress, carrying the scent of pine needles and the briny tang of the sea, a subtle perfume that clings to everything. Mountains, softened by centuries of rain and mist, rise in hazy, indistinct forms behind the scattered homes and weathered buildings, their peaks often veiled in a luminous, pearly light that seems to emanate from the very sky. The land itself is a study in textures: moss-laden branches, damp earth yielding underfoot, and the smooth, water-worn stones along the shoreline. The history of Hollis is intrinsically tied to the bounty of the surrounding waters and the deep woods. For generations, the economy has ebbed and flowed with the fortunes of fishing and logging, industries that have shaped the character of the place and its people. While the grand scale of those enterprises may have shifted, the spirit of self-reliance and a deep connection to the natural world endure. Today, Hollis continues as a vital hub for the island, a place where mail planes land and ferries depart, connecting its residents to the wider world while holding fast to its quiet, island existence.
