1970 Map of Bettles B-2

About this map

Kanuti River winds through this Interior Alaska landscape, a region defined by its isolation and the emergence of massive infrastructure projects in the mid-1970s. The topographic detail reflects a pivotal moment when The Trans-Alaska Pipeline was first being established across the wilderness, with sections noted as under construction and accompanied by the The Trans-Alaska Pipeline (Road). These modern corridors contrast sharply with the older, ephemeral transportation routes like the Winter Road that cuts across the northern terrain.
