2017 Map of Ketchikan B-4 NW

About this map

Tongass National Forest dominates this coastal Alaska landscape, where the intricate shoreline of the Gulf of Alaska meets the steep, timbered ridges of the Alexander Archipelago. The map reveals a specialized maritime infrastructure, notably the Shoal Cove Field Station and Loran Station-II, reflecting the area's role in navigation and remote research. Waters like Carroll Inlet and Shoal Cove are punctuated by landforms such as Island Point and Osten Island, while the inland terrain rises toward Painted Peak and the twin summits of Heart Hill N and Heart Hill S. The presence of the Gokachin Trail near Granite Lake suggests traditional foot travel through the dense forest, connecting the marine environment of Coho Cove to a series of interior freshwater bodies including Big Lake and Mirror Lake.
