2018 Map of Ketchikan A-2 NW

About this map

Tongass National Forest encompasses the entirety of this coastal landscape, where the dramatic marine inlets of Southeast Alaska meet the steep slopes of the mainland. The map is defined by the deep reach of Boca De Quadra, a significant waterway that provides access from the Pacific Ocean into the interior. The topographic detail highlights the intricate shoreline of Marten Arm and its associated Marten Arm Lake, illustrating the complex hydrology of a region where freshwater systems are tightly coupled with saltwater fjords. The presence of Quadra Lakes and the Red River further emphasize the drainage patterns characteristic of this part of the Alexander Archipelago. With no roads or permanent settlements indicated, the map captures a purely natural environment managed for conservation and wilderness values in the early twenty-first century.
