About this map

The Kootznoowoo Wilderness Admiralty Island National Monument dominates this coastal landscape on Admiralty Island, where the dense coastal forest of the Tongass National Forest meets the intricate waterways of the Alexander Archipelago. A rare human imprint on this wilderness is the Mole Harbor to Alexander Trl, a route connecting the protected waters of Mole Harbor to the inland Lake Alexander. This portage trail represents a vital link for those navigating the interior of the island between Seymour Canal and the western reaches.

Coastal geography is defined by prominent landmarks such as Beacon Rock, Flow Point, and Rasp Ledge, which serve as critical navigation points along the bay. Inland, the Mole River drains toward the coast, while smaller water bodies like Doe Lake and Buck Lake sit tucked within the timbered hills. The map highlights the vast scale of protected lands, where the national monument and wilderness designations overlap to preserve the pristine character of this Southeast Alaska environment.
