About this map

Admiralty Island National Monument and the Kootznoowoo Wilderness dominate this high-resolution topographical study of central Admiralty Island. The landscape is characterized by steep coastal elevations and freshwater features, most notably Mt Saffron and the tucked-away waters of Eliza Lake in the northeast.

As part of the Tongass National Forest, the terrain is defined by the absence of roads or permanent settlements, reflecting its status as a protected wilderness area in the Hoonah-Angoon Census Area. In the south, the saltwater indentation of Chapin Bay provides a primary coastal landmark, offering a look at the intricate shoreline and drainage patterns typical of the Alexander Archipelago's largest islands.
