How to Use This Loring, Alaska Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Loring, Alaska. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Alaska or beyond.

Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Loring.

Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.

Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

About Loring, Alaska

Loring is a locality in Ketchikan Gateway, Alaska, United States. The population density is 2.7 people per km². Loring is located at 55.6025°N, 131.6361°W. It observes the Alaska Time (America/Sitka) timezone. ZIP code: 99901.

Loring occupies a narrow, rugged stretch of coastline where the temperate rainforest meets the dark, salt-heavy waters of Naha Bay. It lies 213.9 miles south-southeast of Juneau, AK (from Juneau, AK: bearing 149°T), and is situated 18.0 miles north of Ketchikan. The landscape is defined by the dense, verdant canopy of the Tongass National Forest, which clings to the steep, fractured slopes that eventually rise toward the distant, jagged silhouette of Slide Ridge. Nearby, the freshwater depths of Roosevelt Lagoon catch the gray, shifting light of the sky, while the Naha River carves a persistent path through the undergrowth, its movement a constant, low-frequency hum against the stillness of the surrounding woods. Across the water, the quiet presence of Dogfish Island serves as a sentinel, its shoreline marking the transition between the sheltered, brackish inlets and the wilder currents beyond.

Loring holds the quiet gravity of a place once defined by the rhythmic labor of the salmon canneries, an industry that dictated the pulse of the harbor for generations. Today, the economy has shifted toward a slower, more deliberate stewardship of the environment, drawing those who seek the solitude of the wilderness and the seasonal runs of fish that return to the Naha River with clockwork precision. The remnants of weathered pilings and wooden boardwalks remain, ghost-like textures of a past built upon the harvest of the sea, now reclaimed by the encroaching moss and the patient, damp breath of the Pacific air. Life in Loring moves in accordance with the tides, a fragile, persistent human imprint held within the immense, silent scale of the Tongass National Forest.
