1948 Map of Tanacross A-6

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The Tok River and its expansive network of tributaries dominate this interior Alaskan landscape, as documented through aerial photography in the late 1940s. The terrain is characterized by a central drainage system where the river meets Dry Creek and Timber Creek, creating a critical corridor through the high country. An isolated Cabin provides evidence of human presence in this remote wilderness, likely serving as a waypoint for travelers or trappers. To the south, Sikonsina Pass serves as a natural gateway, flanked by Burnt Lake and the headwaters of Bone Creek. Several creeks named for minerals or local terminology, such as Stibnite Creek and Shindata Creek, suggest a landscape defined by its geology and early prospecting history. The absence of roads underscores the reliance on river valleys and mountain passes for movement throughout the Tanacross region.
