About this map

Admiralty Island dominates this part of the Alexander Archipelago, where the interior landscape is defined by the protected reaches of the Kootznoowoo Wilderness and the Admiralty Island National Monument. This terrain is characterized by high ridges such as Yellow Bear Mtn and Botany Peak, which rise above a complex network of freshwater systems. The map details the drainage of Hasselborg Creek and the central waters of Jims Lake, which feeds into Jims Creek. In the northeast, the Mole River carves through the dense timber of the Tongass National Forest. The absence of developed roads or settlements highlights the wilderness character of the island, which remains a critical habitat for wildlife and a site of significance for the Tlingit people within their ancestral lands.
