2021 Map of Ketchikan D-6 SW
USGS Topo · Published 2021About this map
Tongass National Forest dominates this coastal landscape in the Prince of Wales-Hyder region, where the steep topography of Southeast Alaska meets the waters of the Inside Passage. The drainage patterns are defined by narrow waterways such as Wasta Cr and Hofstad Cr, which carve through the dense timberland and complex elevation contours typical of the Alexander Archipelago. A significant administrative divide runs through this area, as the boundary between Ketchikan Gateway Borough and Wrangell City and Borough bisects the terrain. This map captures the region’s uninhabited wilderness character as it remained in the early 21st century, illustrating the intersection of maritime influence and heavy forestation within the United States' largest national forest.
