1996 Map of Ketchikan C-2

About this map

The Adam Mountains dominate this 1996 revision of the Alaskan interior, a landscape defined by the convergence of the Tongass National Forest and the Misty Fiords National Monument. The map illustrates a strictly roadless wilderness where human presence is limited to remote outposts like the Wilson View Cabin (FS) and Big Goat Lake Cabin (FS). A complex hydrological network of glaciated valleys feeds into Wilson Lake and Wilson River, eventually carving through the terrain toward Rudyerd Bay. These water systems, including the Blossom River and Keta River, are the primary corridors through the dense forest and steep elevations. The map provides clear demarcations for the Wilderness Boundary, highlighting the protected status of the Misty Fiords National Monument and the surrounding preserved land.
