About this map

Tongass National Forest dominates this section of the Ketchikan Gateway Borough, where a series of significant freshwater bodies and steep drainage basins define the wilderness landscape. The interior is marked by Orton Lake and Snow Lake, which feed into the wider drainage systems of the Naha River and the meandering Traitors Cr. This survey illustrates the intricate topographic relief of the region, emphasizing high-elevation landmarks such as Carroll Bluff and Lake Bluff.

Along the eastern edge, Carroll Cr cuts through the terrain near Upper Carroll, while Chamberlain Lake sits toward the southwestern reaches. The absence of developed roads or settlements highlights the protected status of the forest land, showing the area as it remains managed for its natural resources and water systems. The map provides clear evidence of the complex glacial-carved valleys and drainage patterns, including the distinct Bluffs Draw formation.
