1952 Map of Tanacross A-6

About this map

The Alaska Range dominates this mid-century topographic survey, where the drainages of the Tok River and its tributaries carve deep into the interior terrain. A single isolated Cabin stands as a rare sign of human activity in this wilderness, situated along the upper reaches of the river near where Natohona Creek and Shindata Creek join the main flow. The map captures a moment in the early 1950s when the region's geography was being refined using multiplex aerial photography methods.
