2021 Map of Ketchikan A-2 SE

About this map

Peabody Mountains dominate the interior of this coastal Alaskan landscape, where steep elevations rise sharply from the water's edge. The area is protected as part of the Tongass National Forest, preserving a wilderness defined by its complex drainage systems and maritime climate. To the north, the Red River carves through the mountain valleys, while the southeastern corner is marked by the shoreline of Hidden Inlet. This map captures a remote section of the Alexander Archipelago at the height of modern surveying, documenting the intersection of significant topographic relief and tidal waters. The lack of roads or established settlements emphasizes the character of this region as a maritime-accessible wilderness, where the geography is shaped by glaciers and high-volume precipitation rather than human infrastructure.
