1955 Map of Tanacross C-6

About this map

The Tanana River dominates this interior landscape, weaving a complex braided channel through a wide valley of muskeg and wetlands. Surveyed in the mid-1950s, the map highlights the critical transportation corridor of the Alaska Highway as it parallels the river's southern bank. This vital artery is joined by an above-ground Pipeline, reflecting the postwar infrastructure developments in the Alaska interior. The confluence of the Robertson River and the Tanana serves as a focal point for the region's hydrology, where silt-laden glacial waters meet the broader river system.
