2018 Map of Ketchikan A-2 SE

About this map

The Tongass National Forest dominates this coastal Alaska landscape, characterized by the dramatic rise of the Peabody Mountains. This 2018 survey captures the intricate drainage patterns of the Red River as it winds through township boundaries T78S and T79S. To the south, the terrain meets the saltwater at Hidden Inlet, where the tidal waters of the Pacific Ocean interface with the land. The presence of Hidden Inlet Lake just inland from the coast suggests a dynamic hydrological system where freshwater runoff from the surrounding peaks collects before reaching the sea. This map provides a detailed view of the uninhabited wilderness and steep topography of the Ketchikan Gateway Borough as it appeared in the early 21st century.
