2013 Map of Tanacross B-3 SE

About this map

Ladue River meanders across this wilderness quadrangle, serving as the primary geographic feature in a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes and deep drainage basins. This 2013 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey captures the intricate topography of the Alaskan interior near the border of Townships 18 and 17 North. The absence of roads or permanent structures reflects the extreme isolation of this terrain, where the river serves as the central artery for any seasonal activity. Land survey markers for Range 16 East and Range 17 East provide the only human-imposed framework upon a region otherwise governed by the natural contours of the valley floor and high ridgelines.
