About this map

Angoon occupies the western edge of Admiralty Island, positioned where the intricate waters of Kootznahoo Inlet meet the vast expanse of Chatham Strait. This coastal settlement is defined by its relationship with the maritime landscape, situated near a complex network of points and reefs such as Danger Point Reef and Turn Point. The surrounding geography is dominated by the Tongass National Forest, with significant coastal features like Kootznahoo Head and Stillwater Anchorage illustrating the importance of sheltered waterways in this region of the Gulf of Alaska. Navigational landmarks like Village Rock, Rose Rock, and Hell's Acre provide specific points of reference along the shoreline. Further inland, the drainage of Thayer Cr flows through the dense timberland, while the narrow False Channel Bay and Point Bridge offer a look at the logistical constraints and natural harbors that have shaped life on the island.
