1952 Map of Ketchikan D-5

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

Bell Island Hot Springs serves as a rare focal point of human activity within this maritime landscape, complete with a Seaplane Ramp located along the northern shore of Behm Canal. This 1952 record (revised 1988) details a complex network of waterways and islands including Hassler Island and the northern reaches of Revillagigedo Island. The intricate shoreline is defined by deep inlets like Neets Bay and narrow passages such as Gedney Pass and Anchor Pass. Much of the interior terrain is protected under the Tongass National Forest and the Misty Fjords National Monument (Wilderness), characterized by high-altitude freshwater bodies like Lake Shelokum and Orchard Lake. The map illustrates the specialized transport and subsistence patterns of the Alaska Panhandle, where travel relied almost exclusively on the water and air.
