1949 Map of Tanacross B-3

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The Indian Reservation Boundary (Approximate) dominates the southern portion of this interior Alaskan landscape, marking a significant administrative division at the time of the 1948 aerial survey. The terrain is characterized by the winding course of Dennison Fork and the Ladue River, which carve through a series of prominent peaks and ridgelines. Early transportation routes are established here, with the Taylor Highway cutting across the northwest corner and the Alaska Highway visible in the southwest. A few isolated cabins represent the sparse human footprint in this wilderness. Geodetic markers such as VABM 3585 Denys and VABM 3822 Son indicate the high points utilized by surveyors to map this expansive territory shortly after the war, providing a baseline of the regional geography before later development.
