2021 Map of Ketchikan B-2 NW

About this map

Tongass National Forest dominates this Alaskan landscape, where the high-elevation terrain of the Ketchikan Gateway Borough is defined by its deep glacial valleys and significant water systems. The map centers on the massive Wilson Lake, which feeds into the Wilson River as it carves southward toward the coast. To the east, the Blossom River follows a parallel course, highlighting the drainage patterns characteristic of the coastal mountains. Human presence is sparse in this protected wilderness, marked primarily by the Quartz Hill Access route which snakes through the southern portion of the sheet. This access corridor provides a rare entry point into the interior of the Tnf (Tongass National Forest), hinting at the area's resource management and exploration history within the larger Prince of Wales-Hyder region.
