1955 Map of Ketchikan C-1

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

Halleck Range dominates the mountainous interior of this 1955 survey, where elevations reach from the tide-line to the peaks of Mount Hayford. Located within the Tongass National Forest, the terrain is defined by its dramatic verticality and direct interface with the deep waters of the Portland Canal. This waterway serves as the international boundary between United States and Canada, specifically marking the divide between Alaska and British Columbia. Along the shoreline, numerous points such as Verdure Pt, River Pt, and White Pt provide geographic markers for maritime navigation. Small coastal features like Fords Cove and Green Island represent the few breaks in the steep coastline. The map records several reference monuments, including Ref Mon S-23 and Ref Mon C-20, which were vital for establishing the precise border in this complex coastal wilderness.
