1952 Map of Ketchikan D-6

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

Lake McDonald and the surrounding wilderness of the Tongass National Forest define this coastal landscape as it was documented in the mid-20th century. The intricate shoreline of the Cleveland Peninsula reveals a maritime economy and infrastructure dependent on deep-water inlets, including the Fish Hatchery near the head of Yes Bay. These protected waters provided essential shelter and resources for early coastal development in Southeast Alaska, with navigation aided by the Lighthouse Reserve at Bluff Point. Across the Behm Canal, the western edge of Revillagigedo Island rises sharply, marked by local landmarks like Brow Point and Nose Point. The map provides a detailed view of the natural hydrology of the region, from the high elevations of Table Mountain and the Twin Rift down to the salmon-bearing waters of Wasta Creek and Walker Cr.
