2024 Map of Tanacross B-6 SW

About this map

The Alaska Range defines the steep terrain of this interior quadrangle in the Southeast Fairbanks area. This high-altitude landscape is characterized by narrow drainage systems and high mountain passes, notably Tushtena Pass located in the southwestern portion of the sheet. The drainage pattern is defined by several prominent waterways including Sheep Creek in the north and the descriptively named Cathedral Rapids Creek Number 2 to the east. In the southeastern corner, Stibnite Creek flows through the township of T17N R9E, its name hinting at the mineral potential of the region. The map provides a high-resolution view of the topography and Public Land Survey System boundaries that organize this largely undeveloped wilderness area, illustrating the intersection of rugged Alaskan geography with the formal grid of the American West.
