1960 Map of Nabesna B-5

About this map

Tanada Lodge sits on the western shore of Tanada Lake, serving as a remote outpost in this interior Alaskan landscape mapped in the late 1950s. The settlement of Nabesna anchors the eastern edge of the quadrangle, connected to the outside world by the Nabesna Road. The terrain is defined by significant elevations like White Mountain and Gold Hill, while the drainage system is dominated by the sprawling course of Jacksina Creek and its many tributaries, including Wait Creek and Canyon Creek. Movement through this high-altitude environment relied heavily on a network of non-motorized routes, such as the Pack Trail winding south toward Sheep Lake and a Tractor Trail tracing the northern waters of Tanada Creek. This survey provides a precise look at the logistics of mid-century wilderness access, where unimproved trails were the primary lifelines between isolated lakes and mountain peaks.
