About this map

The Tanana River cuts through the center of this Alaskan wilderness, forming a complex network of braids and the Tanana Slough as it flows between the high peaks of the Alaska Range to the south and the lake country to the north. At the junction of the river and the Alaska Highway, the settlement of Tanacross serves as a primary hub, supported by the Tanacross Airfield and a prominent beacon. The presence of the Pipe Line running parallel to the highway highlights the importance of the era's logistical infrastructure in the interior.
