A major component of southern Alaska is a Late Cretaceous-Eocene accretionary complex that extends for 2200 km from Sanak Island in the west to Chatham Strait in the southeast. The complex is comprised primarily of flysch of the Chugach-Prince William (CPW) composite terrane (Plafker et al., 1994). The CPW was diachronously intruded by near-trench plutons of the Sanak-Baranof belt between 61 and 50 Ma, although the location of the intersecting ridge is controversial (cf. Cowan, 2003; Haeussler et al., 2003). Significant margin-parallel transport may have occurred prior to accretion in addition to a second episode of near-trench plutonism in the Late Eocene, which are part of Eshamy Suite of plutons (Johnson, this volume).
