2021 Map of Ketchikan B-1 OE E SW

About this map

The international border of the United States of America Canada defines the eastern edge of this coastal Alaskan landscape, where the waters of Belle Bay meet the shoreline of the Tongass National Forest. The map documents a sparsely populated wilderness dominated by hydrologic systems and relief features such as Ashington. Drainage from the interior flows through Belle Bay Cr, carving through the forest toward the Pacific. The survey preserves the spatial relationship between the maritime boundary and the protected federal lands, illustrating the remote character of the Ketchikan Gateway Borough during the early twenty-first century. It remains a key document for understanding the interface between the Alaskan panhandle's waterways and the Canadian frontier.
