2024 Map of Sitka C-2 SW

About this map

Angoon serves as the focal point of this coastal landscape, situated at the southwestern edge of Admiralty Island where the Chatham Strait meets the complex waterways of Kootznahoo Inlet. The map details a rugged maritime environment defined by protective harbors like Stillwater Anchorage and navigational hazards such as Danger Point Reef and Village Rock. This 2024 survey reflects the modern boundaries of the Kootznahoo Wilderness and the Admiralty Island National Monument, encompassing nearly the entire landmass. The presence of named points like Turn Point and Point Bridge suggests the intricate piloting required to navigate these tidal channels. From the drainage of Thayer Creek to the small harbor at False Channel Bay, the map documents a geography where human settlement is deeply integrated into a protected wilderness area.
