1952 Map of Ketchikan C-4

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Revillagigedo Island dominates this mid-century topographic study, showcasing the complex glacial geography of the Tongass National Forest before extensive modern development. The landscape is defined by long, narrow freshwater bodies like Manzanita Lake and Lake Grace, which occupy deep troughs between peaks such as Mt Reid. Evidence of early backcountry infrastructure is visible through several strategically placed Shelter Cabins and a Gaging Sta near Lower Ella Lake, markers of the forestry and surveying work of the era. These remote outposts served as critical points for travelers and federal agents navigating the dense interior between Behm Canal and Carroll Inlet. The drainage patterns, including Calamity Creek and Looking Creek, reveal a high-relief environment where water systems are the primary corridors for exploration and mapping.
