1949 Map of Tanacross B-6

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Tanana River and Robertson River converge in this Alaskan interior landscape, where the Alaska Highway runs parallel to a critical Pipeline. This 1949 survey illustrates a frontier infrastructure network carved through the wilderness, including a Gaging Sta and a remote Landing Strip near Cathedral Rapids No 1. The terrain is dominated by the massive Cathedral Bluffs and high passes like Tushtena Pass in the south. Notable water features such as Moon Lake and Glaman Lake dot the lowlands, while several glacial-fed streams like Yerrick Creek and Sheep Creek drain the mountain slopes. The presence of the pipeline and the primary highway suggests the post-war strategic importance of this corridor for regional transport and resource management.
