USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

Ketchikan stands as the primary hub of this 1952 reconnaissance survey, which documents the complex maritime geography of the First Judicial Division in Southeast Alaska. The map captures the intricate network of waterways including the Behm Canal, Revillagigedo Channel, and Portland Canal, which serves as the international boundary between the United States and Canada. Large landmasses such as Revillagigedo Island and Annette Island are shown in detail, featuring smaller settlements like Saxman, Metlakatla, and the remote mining town of Hyder at the head of the canal.
