1953 Map of Ketchikan C-5

About this map

Revillagigedo Island presents a complex network of glacial inlets and freshwater systems within the Tongass National Forest. The settlement of Loring sits at the mouth of Naha Bay, serving as a gateway to the Naha River watershed and the interior lake chains including Roosevelt Lagoon and Jordan Lake. This mid-century survey documents the transition of local industry and infrastructure, noting a Fish Hatchery (Aband) near Heckman Lake and the Black Bear Observation Post positioned to overlook the drainage basins. The landscape is defined by its maritime connections, from the deep waters of Carroll Inlet to the narrow reach of the Long Arm. Evidence of wilderness management and early scientific monitoring is visible through the presence of an Orton Ranch and a Gaging Sta situated along Falls Creek.
