Alcan Border serves as the primary focal point of this 2023 survey along the eastern edge of Alaska, situated just west of the international boundary with the United States of America. The landscape is dominated by the interior wilderness of the Tetlin National Wildlife Refuge, where the terrain is intricately defined by the drainage patterns of Desper Creek and its many unnamed tributaries. The Alaska Highway cuts across the southwestern corner of the sheet, providing the singular modern transit artery through this remote section of the Southeast Fairbanks Census Area. This map illustrates the intersection of international borders and conservation lands, showing how infrastructure like the highway navigates the complex wetlands and hills that characterize the Upper Tanana Valley region.
