1956 Map of Tanacross D-2

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Dennison Fork and its complex network of tributaries define the high-altitude landscape of this 1956 field-annotated survey in the Alaska interior. The map illustrates a remote wilderness where travel was dictated by seasonal conditions, evidenced by the presence of a Winter Trail navigating the southwestern drainage. Evidence of human activity is scarce, marked only by an isolated Cabin in the northeast near Dewey Creek. Surveyors utilized prominent high points like VABM Atwater 3697 and VABM Paine 4875 29 to map the intricate drainages of Big Timber Creek, Cement Creek, and Gold Bar Creek. The naming of features like Paine Tom Creek suggests a landscape charted by prospectors and trappers who relied on these specific watercourses for navigation and survival before more permanent settlements were established.
