2013 Map of Tanacross A-3 SE

About this map

Big John Hill rises above a labyrinth of wetlands and water bodies in this interior Alaskan landscape. The northern reaches are defined by the wide, braided course of the Tanana River, while the Alaska Hwy cuts through the northeast corner, providing the primary overland corridor through this subarctic wilderness. The area is dominated by a complex hydrographic network, including Nuziamundcho Lake, Big John Lake, and Tsilchin Lake, all interconnected by the wandering path of the Kalutna River. This 2013 survey illustrates the characteristic terrain of the Tanana Valley, where low-lying basins are filled with innumerable small ponds and larger lakes, reflecting the drainage patterns of the unorganized borough.
