1952 Map of Fairbanks A-6

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

The Teklanika River and Toklat River dominate this interior landscape, marking a transition between braided river valleys and the upland terrain of the Fourth Judicial Division. Recorded during the early 1950s, the map highlights the primitive transportation networks of the era, most notably a seasonal Sled Road that traverses the northern reaches. This route, alongside the Sushana River, reflects a time when overland travel in this part of Alaska relied heavily on winter-ready trails and river corridors before the development of modern highway infrastructure. Survey markers like VABM Nika and VABM Rick provide fixed points of reference in a wilderness defined by shifting watercourses and expansive wetlands, offering a detailed look at the hydrology of the Tanana Valley watershed during the mid-century period.
