2018 Map of Ketchikan A-2 NE

About this map

Tongass National Forest dominates this Alaskan landscape, where the terrain is defined by steep glacial valleys and a network of freshwater drainage systems. The northern half of the quadrangle is bisected by the Marten River, which flows through a broad basin before winding toward the coast. To the south, the headwaters and upper reaches of the Red River carve through high-elevation ridges, illustrating the characteristic hydrology of the Ketchikan Gateway area. This 2018 survey provides a clear view of the wilderness before any significant modern road infrastructure or permanent settlements reached this specific interior portion of the national forest, preserving a record of the natural landforms and township boundaries including t77s r99e and t78s r100e.
