About this map

Chichagof Island and Admiralty Island face one another across the wide expanse of Chatham Strait in this late 20th-century survey. The map details the coastal infrastructure and wilderness management areas within the Tongass National Forest, including the Kootznoowoo Wilderness and the Trap Bay LUD II Management Area. Local transport and subsistence patterns are evident through features like the Alaska Marine Highway and the Sitkoh Lake Trail.

Evidence of historical activity is found at Chatham and Sitkoh, along with the industrial remains of an LTF (Aband) near Basket Bay. Notable water features such as Kook Lake, Basket Lake, and the drainage of Sitkoh Creek emphasize the island's interior hydrology, which is further managed by a Fish Ladder located south of the main creek. On the eastern shore, Marble Bluffs and Parker Point define the rugged coastline of the Admiralty Island National Monument.
