1955 Map of Tanacross C-6

About this map

The Tanana River dominates this mid-century landscape, carving a wide braided path through the interior. Surveyed in the mid-1950s, the map highlights the critical infrastructure of the era, specifically the corridor formed by the Alaska Highway and the Aboveground Pipeline as they skirt the river's southern bank. This stretch of road and pipe represents the post-war development of the territory, providing a vital link through the wilderness towards Tok and Fairbanks.
