2017 Map of Ketchikan C-4 NE

About this map

Tongass National Forest dominates this coastal landscape, where the mountainous terrain of the Alexander Archipelago meets the Gulf of Alaska. The interior of the quadrangle is defined by steep glacial topography and substantial inland water bodies, most notably Lake Grace, which stretches across the southern sections. Along the eastern edge, the waters of the Behm Canal provide a deep-water passage through the coastal fjords, fed by smaller drainages such as Fromholz Cr. This 2017 survey reflects a wilderness environment managed for conservation and natural resources, showing the intricate relationship between the high coastal peaks and the marine environment of Southeast Alaska. The map detail is focused on hydrography and elevation, capturing the primary natural landmarks that define this portion of the Ketchikan Gateway Borough.
