1949 Map of Ketchikan B-4

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Revillagigedo island terrain dominates this mid-century coastal survey, characterized by the deep, narrow fjords typical of the Tongass National Forest. The map documents the industrial traces of the era, specifically the Sealevel Mine (Aband) located near the shore of Thorne Arm. A network of large freshwater bodies like Ella Lake and the Gokachin Lakes are connected by short, steep drainages such as Gokachin Creek, illustrating the difficult overland travel of the region. Maritime activity is anchored at the Seaplane Base on Carroll Inlet, while various cabins dot the remote northern lakeshores. The topography is defined by prominent coastal summits like Painted Peak and Notch Mtn, which served as critical landmarks for navigating the complex waterways of the Behm Canal and Princess Bay.
