2016 Map of Tanacross B-3 NW

About this map

The Dennison Fork carves a winding path through this corner of the Southeast Fairbanks region, serving as the primary hydrologic feature in a landscape defined by sharp elevation shifts and intricate drainage patterns. In the western portion of the quadrangle, the Taylor Highway navigates the ridgelines, providing a critical terrestrial corridor through the interior. This topographic study illuminates the spatial relationship between the high-altitude road system and the lower riparian environment of the river fork below. The map also delineates several township and range boundaries, including T19n R15e and T20n R16e, which organize the vast tracts of land. Researchers can observe the interplay between modern transportation infrastructure and the natural contours of the Alaskan interior in the years following the turn of the millennium.
