2017 Map of Ketchikan C-6 SW
USGS Topo · Published 2017About this map
The Tongass National Forest dominates this coastal Alaska landscape, where steep maritime peaks meet the intricate inlets of the Alexander Archipelago. Significant elevations like Gold Mtn and Mt Marr tower over the eastern shoreline of the Clarence Strait, defining a terrain marked by deep glacial carvings and isolated freshwater bodies such as Smugglers Lake. The maritime geography is characterized by sheltered anchorages like Helm Bay and Bond Bay, which are protected by numerous landforms including Thomas Island and the Tatoosh Islands. This 2017 survey details the complex interface of the Gulf of Alaska with the mainland, showing how the coastal topography creates a series of protected coves, such as Wadding Cove and Smugglers Cove, separated by prominent features like Helm Point.
