1954 Map of Fairbanks D-6

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

The confluence of the Tolovana River and the Tanana River dominates this mid-century interior Alaskan landscape, characterized by an intricate network of sloughs and wetlands. The settlement of Tolovana sits along the northern bank of the Tanana, serving as a primary point of human activity in an area otherwise defined by seasonally shifting waters and dense swamp. A notable Sled Road cuts across the terrain, illustrating the critical role of winter transport routes in this roadless wilderness before modern infrastructure became established. The presence of the Fairbanks Base Line indicates the systematic surveying efforts being conducted in the 1950s. High ground is marked by the VABM Tolovana 2005 benchmark, overlooking smaller water bodies like Deadman Lake and Grassy Lake that dot the river basin.
