1952 Map of Ketchikan D-6

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Cleveland Peninsula and the deep waters of the Behm Canal dominate this mid-century maritime study. The rugged coastline is marked by small settlements like Santa Anna and Yes Bay, which served as hubs for coastal activity before modern infrastructure. An interesting local industrial marker is the Fish Hatchery (Aband) located at the head of Lake McDonald, reflecting the era's changing relationship with local fisheries. Navigation aids are prominent throughout the fjords, including the Lighthouse Reserve and Bluff Point Light, which guided vessels through the intricate waters of Spacious Bay and Gedney Pass. The map details a landscape of steep timbered slopes and isolated lakes like Standing Rock Lake and Lake Maude, where inland access relied primarily on waterways and isolated trails through the Tongass National Forest.
