About this map

Stephens Passage separates the southern shore of Douglas Island from the northern reaches of Admiralty Island in this coastal Alaskan survey. The mapping details the maritime interface within the City and Borough of Juneau, emphasizing the tidal dynamics of the region with extensive Tidal Flats located at Admiralty Cove and the head of Young Bay.

A solitary Cabin near the mouth of Admiralty Creek provides a rare sign of habitation within the Admiralty Island National Monument Wilderness. The landscape is defined by its dramatic coastal geography, from the heights of Middle Point and Inner Point on Douglas Island to the low-lying Young Beach and the isolated Scull Island. This document records the pristine state of the Tongass National Forest as it was managed in the mid-1980s.
