1955 Map of Ketchikan A-2

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Boca De Quadra and its deep waterway of Marten Arm penetrate the southern reaches of the Tongass National Forest in this mid-century survey. The landscape is defined by the steep rises of the Peabody Mountains and a complex drainage system where the Marten River and Red River meet tidal waters. Human presence is sparse, marked primarily by industrial and subsistence sites such as an abandoned Fish Hatchery on the shores of Hugh Smith Lake and a lone Mine perched above the arm. Several Seaplane Landing Areas on Humpback Lake and Hugh Smith Lake emphasize the reliance on air travel for accessing these remote coastal watersheds. The map also traces smaller tributaries like Cobb Creek and Billy Goat Creek, alongside isolated structures like a Cabin near the coastline.
