1955 Map of Mount Hayes C-1

About this map

The Alaska Highway corridor serves as the primary artery through this interior landscape, paralleled by a significant Pipeline segment noted as Aboveground. Near the eastern edge, the settlement of Dot Lake sits beside its namesake water body, supported by a nearby Landing Strip that highlights the importance of aerial transport in this road-accessible but isolated region. The northern portion is defined by the braided channels of the Tanana River and the meandering Johnson Slough, which create a complex network of wetlands and shifting waterways. South of the river, the terrain rises toward the prominent Knob Ridge, interspersed with numerous high-altitude lakes such as Fish Lake and Plateau Lake. This survey captures the infrastructure of the mid-20th century, from the Gaging Sta on Sam Creek to the industrial presence of a Gravel Pit along the highway.
