About this map

The Alaska Highway follows the curve of the Tanana River in this 1951 survey, tracing a critical transportation corridor through the interior. Parallel to the roadway, a Pipe Line runs through the landscape, signifying the strategic industrial infrastructure of the early Cold War era. The terrain is dominated by the northern reaches of the Alaska Range, where high peaks like Shin and Vabm 3261 rise above the river valley.
