2017 Map of Ketchikan B-6 NW

About this map

Behm Canal and the Inside Passage dominate this maritime survey of the coastal waters northwest of Ketchikan. The map documents the intricate coastline of the Cleveland Peninsula, terminating at Caamano Point, and the northern reaches of Gravina Island. This area serves as a critical maritime corridor, where the Guard Islands stand as a central landmark for navigators transitioning between the larger channels. Significant portions of the landmass are protected as part of the Tongass National Forest, illustrating the intersection of federal wilderness management and the essential water routes of Southeast Alaska. Coastal features such as Vallenar Point and Vallenar Bay provide specific points of reference for those studying the hydrography and topography of the Alexander Archipelago.
