About this map

Revillagigedo Island and the surrounding Alexander Archipelago waterways dominate this 1952 reconnaissance survey, illustrating the complex geography of Southeast Alaska before modern development. The primary settlement of Ketchikan is shown alongside smaller communities like Saxman, Metlakatla, and Loring. The map documents the region's reliance on maritime access, featuring narrow passages like Tongass Narrows and expansive inlets such as Behm Canal and Portland Canal, the latter of which defines the boundary between the United States and Canada.
