1952 Map of Tanacross A-1

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The Alaska Yukon border defines the eastern edge of this 1952 topographic study, where the high terrain of Moosehorn Ridge overlooks a series of valley wetlands. The landscape is dominated by the complex drainage patterns of Gardiner Creek and McArthur Creek, which wind through a remote expanse marked by high-altitude survey markers like Flat VABM 3385 and Bump VABM 2947. This 1:63,360 scale map, based on aerial photography from the early 1950s, records a vast interior wilderness before significant modern infrastructure. The absence of roads or established settlements reflects the traditional character of the Southeast Fairbanks region during the mid-century era, providing a precise record of the natural hydrology and topographical relief along the United States Canada international boundary.
