1954 Map of Ketchikan B-6

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Revillagigedo Island and Gravina Island dominate this coastal survey, separated by the vital waters of the Tongass Narrows. The bustling port city of Ketchikan is anchored on the eastern shore, showing its critical maritime infrastructure including the US Coast Guard Station, multiple radio towers, and a seaplane base. Across the narrows on the northern tip of Gravina Island, the Ketchikan Intl Airport provides a modern link to this isolated landscape within the Tongass National Forest. Cultural and recreational sites like Totem Bight, Totem Lodge, and the Ketchikan Rifle Range sit along the North Tongass Road, highlighting the community's development along the coastline of Clarence Strait and Behm Canal. To the north, Betton Island and the Guard Islands light mark the entrance to the Clover Passage.
