1948 Map of Tanacross A-3

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The Tanana River and its vast network of wetlands define this subarctic interior landscape, where early transportation relied heavily on seasonal routes. A Sled Road and Winter Trail bypass the treacherous summer marshes, while a Pipeline and the Alaska Highway mark the post-war modernization of the corridor. Local geography is heavily influenced by the Tetlin Reservation Boundary, which encompasses numerous named water bodies like Nuziamundcho Lake and Chindagmund Lake. Landmarks such as Riverside Lodge and a remote Landing Strip indicate the points of contact for travelers and bush pilots. Terrain features like Titus Paul Hill and Big John Hill provide the few points of high ground amidst the labyrinthine waterways of the Tetlin River drainage.
