1952 Map of Ketchikan B-4

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Revillagigedo Island presents a landscape defined by deep fjords and a dense network of freshwater lakes within the Tongass National Forest. This 1952 topographic study, compiled from earlier aerial photography and maritime charts, captures the intersection of industrial attempts and raw wilderness in Southeast Alaska. The presence of the Sealevel Mine (Aban'd) near the shoreline of Thorne Arm points to the region's history of hard-rock mineral exploration. Water management and resource monitoring are evident at the Gaging Station located along Fish Creek. Steep topography, ranging from Painted Peak to the sharp ridges of Notch Mtn, funnels into massive waterways like Carroll Inlet and the Behm Canal, illustrating the isolation and water-dependent nature of early coastal activity in the Ketchikan area.
