Description:
The Ketchikan Spruce Mills complex, with smoke pouring from its "wigwam" wood waste burner, is at top center. Directly below is the intersection of Bawden Street and Park Avenue. Note that Bawden Street ends at Mission Street, where the Thompson & Hattrick department store filled the space that is now a street between Whale Park and the Cape Fox Marketplace building.
