1954 Map of Ketchikan B-6

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

Ketchikan serves as the focal point of this mid-century coastal survey, situated along the Tongass Narrows where the maritime economy of Southeast Alaska is clearly visible. The map details a landscape defined by the transition from industrial waterfronts to the high peaks of Revillagigedo Island and Gravina Island. To the northwest of the main settlement, Wacker and the adjacent Ward Cove harbor show evidence of local industry with a Cannery and the Tongass Road winding along the shore. Cultural landmarks are prominent near the coast, including Totem Bight, Totem Village, and Totem Lodge, reflecting the region's heritage. The interior is marked by significant hydrological features like Connell Lake and Lake Perseverance, while the U S Coast Guard Station near Pt Higgins underscores the strategic importance of this waterway between Clarence Strait and Behm Canal.
