About this map

The Alaska Highway cuts a definitive path through the wetland-rich interior of eastern Alaska, serving as the primary corridor for movement near the Canadian border. This 2023 survey illustrates the small border settlements of Alcan and Alcan Border, which mark the transition between nations amidst a landscape defined by complex hydrography. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the Tetlin National Wildlife Refuge, a protected expanse where the winding channels of Scottie Creek and Desper Creek weave through numerous unnamed ponds and marshes.

Local topography is largely flat with significant marshland, though Glacier Hill provides a rare point of elevation northwest of Island Lake. The map details the precise township and range divisions, such as t11n r23e, which organize this sparsely populated region. For those tracing the evolution of northern transport and border infrastructure, the map provides a current look at the intersection of international logistics and wilderness preservation.
