2017 Map of Ketchikan A-6 SE

About this map

Tongass National Forest covers the northern reaches of this maritime landscape, where small landmasses like the Bronaugh Islands emerge from the deep waters of the Alexander Archipelago. This coastal survey centers on the navigationally significant Nichols Passage, a vital waterway for vessels transiting the intricate shorelines of the Alaska Panhandle. The map captures the meeting point of the Ketchikan Gateway Borough and Prince of Wales-Hyder Census Area, illustrating the administrative complexities of these sparsely populated island chains. Submerged hazards and landmarks including Hid Reef, Grouse Rock, and Point McCartey define the jagged geography of the northern Dixon Entrance region.
