1952 Map of Tanacross A-6

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

The Alaska Range dominates this mid-century topographic study, which captures the interior wilderness in the years following the Second World War. The drainage systems of the Tok River and Dry Tok Creek provide the primary geographic structure for the region, carving through high-elevation terrain marked by peaks like VABM White 7302. Evidence of human activity is extremely sparse, represented only by a lone Cabin located along the riverbanks, likely serving as a waypoint or seasonal shelter for travelers through the eastern interior. The map also delineates the Approximate Boundary between the Third and Fourth Judicial Divisions, a administrative division of the territory. Natural routes through the mountains are identified by features such as Sikonsina Pass, while various tributaries including Natahong Creek and Shindata Creek flow into the main river valleys.
