2017 Map of Ketchikan D-6 NW

About this map

Santa Anna Inlet and the Seward Passage carve into the western edge of the Cleveland Peninsula in this 2017 survey of Southeast Alaska. Much of the interior landscape is defined by the dense, protected wilderness of the Tongass National Forest, where a network of freshwater bodies like Lake McDonald, Standing Rock Lake, and Lake Helen are tucked between steep coastal ridges. The terrain rises sharply from the saltwater shores of the Gulf of Alaska at Sunny Bay to the high point at Table Mtn. This sheet captures a remote section of the border between Wrangell Borough and Ketchikan Gateway Borough, illustrating the complex maritime geography and untouched forest characteristic of this region. The lack of road infrastructure emphasizes the reliance on waterways and coastal points like Point Santa Anna for navigation and access to this part of the Alexander Archipelago.
