1954 Map of Ketchikan B-6

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Revillagigedo Island and Gravina Island dominate this coastal survey, separated by the vital maritime corridor of Tongass Narrows. The landscape is defined by the industrial and maritime infrastructure of Ketchikan, where a cannery, seaplane base, and multiple radio towers reflect the area's mid-century role as a logistical hub. Development follows the shoreline along North Tongass Road, passing the Ketchikan Rifle Range and Totem Lodge. To the north, the U.S. Coast Guard Station at Pt Higgins monitors the entrance to Behm Canal. The interior remains largely untouched within the Tongass National Forest, though several dams at Connell Lake and Carlanna Lake indicate early water management and power efforts. Evidence of shifting settlement patterns is visible at the abandoned village site near Peninsula Pt.
