1952 Map of Tanacross A-5

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

The Tok River and Little Tok River dominate this interior Alaskan landscape, which at mid-century was defined by early aviation and the establishment of highway corridors. Much of the southern and eastern territory is occupied by the Tetlin Indian Reservation, while the historic Eagle Trail cuts a diagonal path across the drainage. Small, functional outposts like Eagle Inn, Log Cabin Inn, and the already noted Clearwater Camp (Aban'd) served travelers along these routes. The presence of the Mineral Point Landing Field near the river confluence highlights the era's reliance on bush pilots and small aircraft for access. Topographic details are meticulously recorded with several triangulation stations, including VABM 5975 Meikle and VABM 5085 Natohona, marking the high peaks between the Clearwater Creek and Shindata Creek drainages.
