1991 Map of Ketchikan B-5 SW

USGS Topo · Published 1991

About this map

Ketchikan serves as the focal point of this maritime landscape, situated along the complex waterways of the Tongass National Forest in the early 1990s. The settlement pattern is defined by its dependence on the Tongass Narrows (East Channel), where the U S Coast Guard Station and Ketchikan Harbor anchor the local economy. To the south, the village of Saxman and the location of China Town on Annette Island reflect the distinct communities nested between the steep slopes of the Deer Mountains and the shore. Inland, a network of alpine water bodies like Lower Ketchikan Lake, Scout Lake, and Whitman Lake feed into the channels, illustrating the dramatic transition from high peaks like Minerva Mountain to the deep waters of Nichols Passage. The map also captures industrial footprints such as a Quarry near Saxman, highlighting the localized extraction efforts within this coastal rainforest environment.
