1955 Map of Ketchikan C-3

About this map

Behm Canal dominates this mid-century topographic study, carving a massive deep-water passage through the southern panhandle of Alaska. The map illustrates the complex interface between the eastern coast of Revillagigedo Island and the mainland, where glacial carved features like Rudyerd Bay and Walker Cove reach deep into the interior. These fjord-like inlets are surrounded by steep elevations, rising sharply from the sea to interior heights where alpine features like Punchbowl Lake and Nooya Lake are found.
