2015 Map of Tanacross B-1 SE

About this map

The Ladue River winds extensively through this portion of the Alaska Southeast Fairbanks Census Area, creating a complex network of oxbows and meanders across the valley floor. This 2015 U.S. Geological Survey data illustrates a landscape defined by dramatic elevation changes, where the river basin is tightly hemmed in by steep, unnamed ridges that rise several hundred feet above the water level. In the southeastern corner, McArthur Cr enters the frame, marking a transition in the drainage pattern near the international border. The map provides a precise record of the Public Land Survey System divisions, including t18n r22e and t18n r23e, which are essential for identifying land tracts and historical claims in this interior wilderness. The absence of roads or established settlements emphasizes the isolated character of the upper Yukon river systems during the early twenty-first century.
