1955 Map of Ketchikan B-5

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The coastal community of Ketchikan and the neighboring settlement of Saxman serve as the hub for this mid-century survey of Revillagigedo Island. Industry and infrastructure are tightly clustered along the Tongass Narrows, where maritime activity is supported by a Coast Guard Station, a Seaplane Base, and the Ketchikan Harbor. The economic footprint of the era is visible in specialized structures like the Beaver Falls Power House and a Cannery on the shores of George Inlet, while the Mahoney Mine reflects the legacy of earlier extraction efforts.
