1955 Map of Ketchikan B-5

About this map

The maritime industrial hub of Ketchikan serves as the focal point for this mid-century survey of Revillagigedo Island. This era captures a landscape defined by its reliance on the water, showing a dense concentration of infrastructure along the Tongass Narrows. Essential coastal landmarks include the U.S. Coast Guard Station, a Seaplane Base, and the Thomas Basin harbor. The map also documents the diverse residential and cultural footprint of the period, from the community of Saxman and the specific neighborhood of China Town to the White River Boy Scout Camp in the north.
