2017 Map of Ketchikan A-6 NW

About this map

Tongass National Forest dominates the western coastline of this marine-focused survey, where the terrestrial wilderness of Southeast Alaska meets the open water of the Gulf of Alaska. The landscape is characterized by intricate coastal features such as Halibut Cr and the prominent Windy Point. To the south, the Wedge Islands sit isolated near the entrance to Port Johnson, serving as critical navigational landmarks in an area defined by its maritime boundaries. The map clearly delineates the administrative line between the Ketchikan Gateway Borough and the Prince of Wales-Hyder Census Area, a boundary that runs through the open water, highlighting the complex jurisdictional nature of these remote coastal waterways.
