2021 Map of Ketchikan C-3 SE

About this map

Tongass National Forest dominates this coastal landscape, where steep fjord-like topography meets the waters of the Inside Passage. The map illustrates a dramatic wilderness defined by deep inlets, most notably Rudyerd Bay and Punchbowl Cove, which carve into the mountain faces. These glaciated features are surrounded by high-elevation water bodies like Nooya Lake and Punchbowl Lake, connected to the shoreline by the narrow Nooya Lake Trl. The lack of road infrastructure and the reliance on marine access points to the remote nature of this region, emphasizing its role as a protected forest environment. Public Land Survey System grids, including t72s r96e, provide a structured overlay to this otherwise untouched terrain, illustrating how modern administrative boundaries are applied to the wilderness of Southeast Alaska.
