1996 Map of Ketchikan D-4

About this map

Revillagigedo Island and the coastal expanse of the Misty Fiords National Monument Wilderness dominate this southeast Alaskan landscape. This 1996 revision by the USDA Forest Service documents a region of intricate waterways and coastal points, including the meeting of Burroughs Bay and the deep Behm Canal. The map reveals the dramatic geography of the Tongass National Forest, where steep drainage systems like Saks Creek and Robinson Creek flow into the tidal waters. Coastal navigation is anchored by distinctive landmarks such as Point Whaley, Point Fitzgibbon, and the Center Islets. The lack of road infrastructure underscores the maritime and wilderness character of the Ketchikan Gateway Borough, where travel is defined by the shoreline and the boundaries of the Misty Fiords Ranger District.
