About this map

Kootznoowoo Wilderness dominates this coastal landscape on Admiralty Island, where steep topography meets the intricate shoreline of the Alexander Archipelago. This modern survey illustrates a strictly preserved environment protected within the Admiralty Island National Monument and the Tongass National Forest. High points like Randolph Peak and Morse Peak overlook the deep waters of Seymour Canal, which divides the main landmass from significant coastal features including Tiedeman Island and Dorn Island. The mapping reflects a landscape defined by natural boundaries and maritime access points such as Winning Cove and Short Finger Bay, showing the intersection of federal conservation lands and the complex interior waterways of Southeast Alaska. The absence of roads or permanent settlements emphasizes the region's character as a managed wilderness area, where geological features and old-growth forest systems are the primary focus.
