1956 Map of Tanacross B-1

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

The Alaska Yukon international boundary defines the eastern edge of this 1950s survey, where the Ladue River meanders through an expansive system of wetlands and low-relief terrain. This remote interior landscape is characterized by its drainage network, with Chicken Creek and Deep Cr feeding into the primary river system. A single Cabin near the center of the sheet serves as a rare indicator of human presence in a territory otherwise dominated by natural features and survey markers. High points such as Vabm 4181 Summit and Vabm 3578 Oh Ti provide topographic context for the surrounding marshes and creek beds. The map reflects a period of surveying where land lines were predetermined by the Bureau of Land Management but remained largely unsurveyed and unmarked on the ground, illustrating the vast, undeveloped character of the United States Canada borderlands at mid-century.
