2021 Map of Ketchikan A-6 NW

About this map

Tongass National Forest dominates this coastal landscape, covering the islands and mainland shores of Southeast Alaska. This 2021 survey illustrates the complex maritime geography of the Alexander Archipelago, where deep waterways like Port Johnson and Halibut Cr cut into the timbered coastline. The map highlights the maritime hazards and navigational landmarks of the region, including the prominent Windy Point and the isolated Wedge Island situated within the larger cluster of the Wedge Islands. A notable administrative boundary bisects the open water, marking the division between the Ketchikan Gateway Borough and Prince of Wales-Hyder Census Area. This digital-age topographic study reflects the modern management of these protected forest lands, showing the lack of developed infrastructure in this wilderness environment.
