About this map

The Trans-Alaska Pipeline (Under Construction) cuts through this interior landscape, marking a transformative moment in Alaska's infrastructure development. Surveyed in the 1950s with 1970s revisions, the map highlights the rugged corridor along the Elliott Highway as it winds north toward the gold-producing regions. Evidence of earlier industrial activity remains visible in the tailings found near Amy Dome, where Ester Creek and Cleary Creek drain the high ground.

The hydrological network is dominated by the meandering paths of the Tolovana River and the Tatalina River, which are fed by numerous named tributaries such as Steel Creek, Wilber Creek, and Globe Creek. Isolated cabins and a Pumping Station serve as the only permanent markers of human habitation in this vast drainage basin, illustrating the isolation of the territory before the pipeline era fully matured.
