1953 Map of Ketchikan C-5

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Revillagigedo Island presents a complex network of waterways and glacial topography in this mid-century topographic record. The settlement of Loring on Naha Bay serves as a primary coastal anchor, while further inland, the Orton Ranch and Black Bear Observation Post indicate seasonal human presence within the Tongass National Forest. A notable detail of the local resource history is the Fish Hatchery (Aban'd) located near Heckman Lake, signifying a shift in the region's fisheries management at the time of the survey. The landscape is defined by deep fjords like Carroll Inlet and George Inlet, and unique tidal features such as Roosevelt Lagoon and its corresponding Tiderace. High-elevation lakes, including Orton Lake and Snow Lake, dot the interior, feeding into systems like the Naha River and Carroll Creek.
