1994 Map of Ketchikan B-5

About this map

The coastal gateway of Ketchikan and the neighboring community of Saxman occupy a narrow shelf of land between the towering Deer Mts and the waters of Tongass Narrows. In this 1990s-era snapshot, the industrial and maritime infrastructure of Revillagigedo Island is on full display, from the U S Coast Guard Station to the Beaver Falls Powerhouse and several fish hatcheries. The map documents a landscape transitioning from resource extraction to conservation and tourism, noting the Mahoney Mine (Aband) and Cannery (Aband) alongside Totem Park and the Rotary Beach Picnic Area. To the south, the Annette Island Indian Reservation is visible across Nichols Passage, featuring the settlement of China Town. The intricate network of waterways like George Inlet and Clarence Strait remains the primary transit corridor, supported by the designated Marine Highway.
