2024 Map of Sitka B-2 SE

About this map

Admiralty Island dominates this 2024 survey, showcasing a landscape defined by expansive protected wilderness and coastal inlets. The terrain is primarily managed within the Tongass National Forest and the Admiralty Island National Monument, reflecting the region's long-standing status as a preserved ecosystem. The northeastern corner of the map is punctuated by the South Arm Hood Bay, a significant water body that penetrates the interior of the island. Within these federal lands, the Kootznoowoo Wilderness represents a specialized designation, preserving the traditional lands of the Tlingit people and maintaining the island's character as a place of extreme ecological importance. The map's contour lines and boundary markings delineate the complex relationship between maritime accessibility and the high, inland forest areas that characterize the Hoonah-Angoon Census Area.
