1962 Map of Ketchikan D-4

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Behm Canal serves as the dominant waterway in this mid-century survey of the Alaskan panhandle, separating the mainland from the interior of Revillagigedo Island. This portion of the Tongass National Forest is defined by a complex network of coastal inlets and mountainous drainage systems, where freshwater sources like Saks Lake and Claude Lake feed into the glacial-cut fjords. The maritime geography is documented through detailed coastal markers such as Pt Whaley, Pt Fitzgibbon, and the Center Islets within Fitzgibbon Cove. The mapping of Burroughs Bay includes the Burroughs Bay South Base, reflecting the precision of the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey charts used to compile the hydrographic data. This era of mapping shows a landscape primarily influenced by its rugged coastline and the natural drainage of Saks Creek and Orchard Creek, before any significant modern development.
