2021 Map of Bradfield Canal B-4 SE

About this map

Tongass National Forest dominates this Alaskan landscape, where the high-altitude terrain is defined by steep glacial valleys and sharp ridge lines. The Blue River carves through the northern reaches of the quadrangle, flowing through a deep valley that underscores the area's remote wilderness character. Modern administrative boundaries are a primary focus of this data, specifically the intersection of the Ketchikan Gateway Borough and Wrangell City and Borough. While the map bears the label for Wrangell in the southeast corner, it represents a location within the municipal borough rather than a dense town site. This 2021 update primarily serves to document these jurisdictional lines and the natural hydrography of the region in the early twenty-first century.
