1953 Map of Fairbanks B-6

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

The Teklanika River winds through this interior Alaskan landscape, which was documented through aerial photography in the early 1950s. The map reveals a complex system of wetlands and small water bodies, including the uniquely named Comma Lake and Dune Lake. A primitive transportation network is represented by a Sled Trail that cuts across the terrain, indicating the seasonal routes used for movement through this remote territory before modern road development. The southern portion of the quadrangle is defined by the significant rise of the Hills, contrasting with the lower-lying areas where the Teklanika Channel Lake is situated. This survey captures a moment when land lines remained largely unsurveyed and unmarked, reflecting the frontier state of the region during the mid-twentieth century.
