1956 Map of Tanacross D-3

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Taylor Highway cuts a solitary path through the interior of Alaska, providing a critical land link across a landscape dominated by the complex hydrology of the West Fork Dennison Fork. This 1956 field-annotated map reveals a remote territory where transportation is defined by seasonal access, evidenced by the extensive Winter Trail systems that parallel and diverge from the primary road. The terrain is a vast network of drainage basins, including Taylor Creek and the southern reach of Logging Cabin Creek. The mapping of these waterways and trails reflects the post-war efforts of the Geological Survey to document the Alaskan interior using photogrammetric methods from 1954 and 1957 aerial photography. This specific survey captures the region just as modern infrastructure began to formalize established bush routes into the highway system seen today.
