1956 Map of Tanacross C-2

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

Prindle Volcano dominates the upper-right quadrant of this mid-century topographic survey, marking a distinct geologic landmark in the Alaskan interior. The landscape is defined by the winding passage of the Dennison Fork and the East Fork, which carve through a terrain characterized by wetlands and the peculiar permafrost features known as Pingo. The presence of a solitary Cabin and the Winter Trail in the northwest suggests a sparse, seasonal human footprint during the 1950s. This survey records a wilderness largely untouched by permanent settlement, where transportation relied on frozen routes and waterways rather than established roads. It captures a specific moment in the mapping of the Tanacross (C-2) region, documenting the intricate drainage patterns of the river forks and the natural isolation of the volcanic highlands.
