1955 Map of Ketchikan D-1

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

The border community of Hyder sits at the head of the Portland Canal, serving as a critical gateway between Alaska and British Columbia. This mid-century survey captures the industrial and civic footprint of the settlement, including the Po, US Customs, and a Wharf along the shoreline. The transition from maritime transport to mountain extraction is evident in the presence of an Aerial Tramway (Aband) and a Slide located near Titan Creek.
