1952 Map of Nabesna D-1

About this map

Chisana River dominates the southwestern corner of this interior Alaskan landscape, which was documented during a period of infrastructure expansion in the early 1950s. The Alaska Highway cuts a distinctive diagonal path across the southern terrain, accompanied by the Alaska Highway Aboveground Pipeline and a Telephone Line. These features reveal the strategic importance of the corridor during the post-war era, providing a vital link through the muskeg and lowlands near the United States Canada border.
