2018 Map of Ketchikan C-2 NW
USGS Topo · Published 2018About this map
The Tongass National Forest dominates this coastal landscape, where high ridgelines and steep drainage basins descend toward the Pacific Ocean. This survey captures the intricate topography of the Ketchikan Gateway Borough, characterized by significant elevation changes that feed into Walker Lake and its outlet, Walker Cr, in the northern portion of the quadrangle. The southwestern corner of the sheet reveals the saltwater transition at Rudyard Bay, a deep glacial fjord carving into the mainland. The absence of roads or permanent structures reflects the primitive state of this wilderness area within the national forest system, emphasizing a landscape defined by natural boundaries and hydrographic features rather than human development.
