1953 Map of Ketchikan D-5

About this map

Bell Island Hot Springs serves as a primary point of human activity within this stretch of the Tongass National Forest in the early 1950s. The site is supported by a Seaplane Ramp, highlighting the reliance on aerial access for these isolated coastal outposts. The intricate waterways of the Behm Canal and Hassler Pass separate the mountainous landmasses of Hassler Island and the northern reaches of Revillagigedo Island. Scattered cabins are found near freshwater sources like Lake Shelokum and Claude Lake, indicating localized hunting, fishing, or trapping camps. The mapping also details numerous natural harbors and inlets, such as Neets Bay and Shrimp Bay, which define the rugged maritime geography of the Ketchikan region.
