About this map

The Tetlin Indian Reservation occupies the center of this landscape, its boundary following the winding course of the Tanana River and the complex wetlands of the upper Tanana valley. Mapped by the Geological Survey from 1948 aerial photography, the region is defined by a dense network of water, including the Tetlin River, Kalutna River, and Midway Lake. The northern edge is traced by the Alaska Highway, which runs along the base of the hills, providing a vital transport corridor past scattered Cabins. This survey documents a critical period of post-war infrastructure development in the Alaskan interior, showing the intersection of traditional land use and the modern road network against the backdrop of Chisana Mountain.
