This spot was known as the place where salmon rested for a week before making their way up the Chilkat River. There were seal there as well.

George Davidson placed U.S. Coast Survey Alaska monument #1 at the summit of Pyramid Island in 1867. This was to be the basis for all survey points on the Alaskan coast [1].
