2016 Map of Tanacross A-5 NE

About this map

Tok Cutoff Highway strikes a diagonal path across this Interior Alaska landscape, bridging the gap between high ridges and the expansive wetland flats of the Tok River valley. This 2016 survey illustrates the intricate braided nature of the river as it winds through a basin dominated by marshlands and seasonal watercourses. To the northwest, the terrain rises into the foothills where Clearwater Cr descends from the highlands. The map provides a clear look at the Public Land Survey System grid, including boundaries for t16n r12e and t17n r12e, which define the township and range divisions of this remote territory. The lack of named settlements emphasizes the undeveloped character of the region, where the primary human footprint is the vital highway corridor connecting isolated Alaskan communities.
