1954 Map of Fairbanks D-5

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

The Tanana River dominates this mid-century Alaskan interior landscape, its braided channels creating a complex environment of islands and sloughs such as Crescent Island and Sawmill Slough. The settlement of Minto sits along the river's edge, served by a nearby Landing Area, while the interior is traversed by a seasonal Sled Road that crosses the water at Swanneck Crossing. This survey illustrates the intricate drainage patterns of the Tanana Valley before significant modern development, where transportation relied heavily on these seasonal routes and the river network.
