2013 Map of Tanacross D-3 SW

About this map

W Fork Dennison Fork winds through this interior Alaskan landscape, defining the drainage patterns of a territory largely untouched by permanent settlement. The terrain is characterized by significant elevation changes, notably at Balls Pass, which serves as a natural corridor through the high ground. In the early 21st century, the presence of the Taylor Hwy in the southeastern corner remains the primary terrestrial link to the outside world, cutting through a wilderness dominated by seasonal waterways like Logging Cabin Cr. The map captures the intersection of Range 15 East and Range 16 East, illustrating the vast survey grids that organize this expansive terrain into manageable townships. This area represents the enduring character of Southeast Fairbanks, where the landscape is shaped more by hydrology and natural passes than by human development.
