1955 Map of Tanacross C-6

About this map

The Tanana River dominates this mid-century subarctic landscape, carving a wide alluvial valley defined by complex braids and seasonal wetlands. Recorded in the mid-1950s with later updates, the survey highlights the corridor of the Aboveground Alaska Pipeline Highway, a critical infrastructure artery tracing the western bank of the river. The confluence with the Robertson River to the south and the dramatic rise of the Tower Bluffs illustrate the geological transition between high-velocity glacial runoff and the slower, meandering waters of the interior basins.
