2013 Map of Tanacross A-2 SW

About this map

Northway Junction serves as the primary node of activity in this Alaskan interior landscape, situated where the Alaska Hwy meets the winding Chisana River. This 2013 survey illustrates a complex hydrological network defined by the braids of the Tanana River and the Nabesna River. These glacial waterways feed a series of large, low-lying water bodies including Shashamund Lake and Thadthamund Lake, which dominate the central flats. The topography shifts abruptly from these wetlands toward the northeast, rising to the prominence of Cheneathda Hill. Further north along the highway, the Beaver Creek Roadhouse stands as a notable landmark for travelers and local history researchers, marking a traditional stop-point in the vast territory between the rivers and the highland divides.
