2021 Map of Ketchikan A-3 NE

About this map

The Tongass National Forest dominates this coastal landscape, where steep maritime topography meets the inlets of Southeast Alaska. This recent topographic study captures a wilderness characterized by deep glacial carvings and significant freshwater bodies like Badger Lake and Bakewell Lake. The intersection of land and sea is most prominent at Badger Bay and the narrow inlet of Weasel Cove, while the southern boundary of the map opens into the larger waters of Boca De Quadra. The lack of road infrastructure or named settlements on this sheet emphasizes the area's role as a protected forest reserve, primarily accessible by water. For researchers and maritime historians, the map provides precise shoreline and elevation data for these remote fjords and the drainage patterns that feed into the Pacific.
