2018 Map of Ketchikan D-2 SE

About this map

Tongass National Forest encompasses the entirety of this coastal Alaskan landscape, where the terrain is defined by high-elevation drainage systems and the intricate topography of the Ketchikan Gateway Borough. The northeastern corner of the map features the Davis River, while the southwestern quadrant is marked by the winding path of Barrier Cr. These water bodies are central to the region's natural drainage, serving as key markers in a territory largely absent of human infrastructure. The map provides a detailed view of the township and range divisions, including t69s r97e, t69s r98e, t70s r97e, and t70s r98e, which establish the legal framework for this wilderness. The contour density highlights a landscape of significant verticality, where glacial or fluvial erosion has shaped the valleys and ridges long before this contemporary survey.
