1996 Map of Ketchikan D-3

About this map

Behm Canal and the coastal waters of the Alexander Archipelago dominate this 1996 revision of the 1960 Ketchikan D-3 quadrangle. The map details the expansive Misty Fiords National Monument Wilderness, part of the larger Tongass National Forest, showcasing a complex network of glacial valleys and waterways. Principal drainage systems including the Chickamin River and Leduc River are shown alongside notable interior water bodies such as Leduc Lake, Saks Lake, and Heart Lake. The maritime geography is clearly defined by landmarks like Fish Point, Trap Point, and the Channel Islands at the entrance to Walker Cove. This survey reflects the remote, roadless character of the region, focusing on natural hydrology and coastal navigation markers.
