1955 Map of Ketchikan C-4

About this map

Revillagigedo Island dominates this mid-century topographic study, showcasing the dense network of interior lakes and glacial fjords in the heart of the Tongass National Forest. The map documents a landscape primarily defined by water and elevation, from the heights of Mt Reid to the tidal reaches of Carroll Inlet and Behm Canal. While the region is largely undeveloped, the mapping of remote outposts like Manzanita Camp Cabin, Beaver Camp Cabin, and a Shelter Cabin along Manzanita Lake provides critical evidence of the era's backcountry infrastructure.
