1949 Map of Tanacross B-3

About this map

The Tetlin Indian Reservation dominates the southwest corner of this subarctic landscape, bordered by the vital corridors of the Alaska Highway and Taylor Highway. Surveyed in the late 1940s, the terrain is defined by the winding course of the Dennison Fork and the Ladue River, where numerous wetlands and small lakes mark the valley floors. A single Cabin and a trans-regional Pipeline represent the sparse human footprint in an area otherwise characterized by high-elevation survey markers like Vabm 3822 Son. The infrastructure shown here reveals the post-war strategic importance of the region, emphasizing transportation and resource transit across the eastern Alaska interior near the Canadian border.
