1953 Map of Ketchikan B-6

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Revillagigedo Island and Gravina Island anchor this coastal survey, separated by the narrow channel of the Tongass Narrows. In the early 1950s, the maritime and industrial character of the region is evident through features like the US Coast Guard Station near Pt Higgins and the Cannery at Wards Cove. The settlement of Wacker (Wards Cove PO) and the growing northern reaches of Ketchikan show the early footprint of development along the North Tongass Road.
