1955 Map of Ketchikan D-2

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Through Glacier dominates the northern reaches of this coastal Alaskan landscape, marking a terrain defined by ice and significant elevation shifts. This 1955 survey illustrates the primitive drainage patterns of the Chickamin River and its South Fork Chickamin River, which carve through the heart of the Tongass National Forest. The map reflects a period before the establishment of modern administrative designations like the Misty Fjords National Monument and Misty Fjords Wilderness, which were later overlaid on these topographic records. Notable water bodies such as Walker Lake and Barrier Creek provide specific points of reference for navigating the steep-walled valleys and glacial outflows characteristic of the Ketchikan quadrangle. This document is a primary record of the natural geography of the region as it existed in the mid-twentieth century.
