1955 Map of Ketchikan C-3

About this map

Behm Canal serves as the central artery for this maritime landscape within the Tongass National Forest, separating the eastern mainland from the sprawling mass of Revillagigedo Island. The survey captures a coastal wilderness defined by deep glacial fjords, where Walker Cove and Rudyerd Bay cut far into the mountain interior. Navigation points such as Pt Louise, Pt Eva, and the distinctive New Eddystone Islands mark the intricate shoreline. Inland, the terrain is punctuated by high-altitude waters including Nooya Lake and Punchbowl Lake, the latter situated just above the sheer walls of Punchbowl Cove. The presence of numerous named points like Cactus Pt and Skirt Pt reflects the detailed hydrographic charting necessary for the region's coastal traffic during the mid-1950s.
