1955 Map of Ketchikan

About this map

Revillagigedo Island serves as the focal point of this coastal survey, dominated by the commercial hub of Ketchikan and the nearby village of Saxman. The intricate shoreline of the Alexander Archipelago is mapped in detail, showing the deep inlets of Behm Canal and Carroll Inlet that define the navigation routes of the mid-twentieth century. To the south, Annette Island hosts the community of Metlakatla, while the eastern portion of the sheet is defined by the United States-Canada border as it runs through the waters of Portland Canal.
