1955 Map of Ketchikan A-4

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

The maritime landscape of Southeast Alaska is defined here by the complex waterways surrounding Revillagigedo Island, where the Revillagigedo Channel meets the Behm Canal. Central to this 1955 survey is Mary Island, home to the Mary Island Lighthouse and Customhouse Cove, indicating its role in coastal navigation and border administration. The map highlights a transition in land management, showing the eastern portions within the Misty Fjords National Monument (Wilderness) and the broader Tongass National Forest. Scattered maritime outposts like Ham and Village I appear alongside family-named landmarks such as Walker I and Pt Winslow. The intricate shoreline, marked by hazardous reaches like Danger Passage, reflects the critical reliance on water travel before the era of modern road infrastructure in the Ketchikan Gateway Borough.
