2017 Map of Ketchikan C-6 NW

About this map

Cleveland Peninsula dominates this coastal landscape where the wild terrain of the Tongass National Forest meets the saltwater inlets of the Gulf of Alaska. The map illustrates a complex network of waterways and timbered ridges, defined by deep indentations like Port Stewart to the north and the expansive Helm Bay at the southern edge. The boundary between the Ketchikan Gateway Borough and Wrangell Borough cuts across the northwest corner, marking an administrative division in this largely roadless area. Interior water features such as Helm Lake and the drainage of Granite Creek reveal the hydrological patterns of the peninsula, while coastal landmarks like Raymond Cove and Forss Island provide essential points of reference for maritime navigation and local history along these remote shorelines.
