2021 Map of Ketchikan C-1 NW

About this map

The Tongass National Forest dominates this coastal Alaskan landscape, where the high ridges of the Halleck Range meet the intricate waterways of the Ketchikan Gateway Borough. This 2021 survey documents a region defined by extreme vertical relief and dense forest management, centering on the peaks of the Halleck Range and the prominent height of Mt Hayford. The map traces the rugged coastline out to Verdure Point, illustrating the interaction between the maritime environment and the mountainous interior. This specific map provides researchers with contemporary boundary data for the National Forest system, as seen in the sections of t71s r99e and t70s r98e. It serves as a clear record of the modern topography and shoreline before future glacial or environmental changes alter these remote reaches of the Alaskan panhandle.
