About this map

Kootznoowoo Wilderness and the Tongass National Forest dominate this island landscape within the Admiralty Island National Monument. The terrain is characterized by steep coastal slopes and dramatic elevation changes, notably where the land meets the waters of Windfall Harbor. At the northern edge of the landmass, Staunch Point serves as a prominent maritime landmark. This survey highlights the preservation of this coastal environment, showing no roads or modern settlements, reflecting the managed status of these federal lands. The map detail focuses on the natural topography and shoreline of Admiralty Island, providing a record of the wilderness as it exists in the early twenty-first century under the stewardship of the U.S. Department of the Interior.
