1956 Map of Tanacross C-2

About this map

Prindle Volcano dominates the northern landscape of this remote interior region, serving as a rare geological landmark in the Tanacross area. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of the Dennison Fork and the East Fork, which carve through a mosaic of wetlands and unmapped hills. A solitary Cabin and a designated Winter Trail in the northwest indicate the sparse human presence and the seasonal nature of travel in this subarctic environment during the mid-1950s. The identification of a Pingo in the southeast highlights the permafrost-driven geomorphology that characterizes this section of the Yukon-Tanana Uplands, where land lines remained largely unsurveyed by the Bureau of Land Management at the time of this study.
