2016 Map of Tanacross B-5 NW

About this map

Tanacross serves as the focal point for this interior Alaskan landscape, situated where the broad Tanana River floodplains meet the rising highlands. The hydrography of the region is complex, defined by the winding Little Tanana Slough and a series of substantial water bodies including Lake Mansfield and Fish Lake. The terrain transitions from the low-lying wetlands surrounding Glaman Lake to the significant elevations found within the survey boundaries of T20N and T19N. Infrastructure is sparse in this part of the Unorganized Borough, with Clearwater Road providing the primary overland access toward the settlement. The intricate network of smaller tributaries, such as Little Fish Cr and Mansfield Cr, illustrates the drainage patterns that have historically shaped local travel and subsistence in the Tanana Valley.
