2013 Map of Tanacross D-4 SW

About this map

The Mosquito Fork dominates this interior Alaska landscape, carving a wandering course through a complex of wetlands and small lakes. In the northern sections of the quadrangle, the water meanders across relatively flat ground, while the southern terrain rises sharply into higher elevations marked by dense topographic contouring. This transition from the saturated lowlands of the river basin to the upland slopes suggests a wilderness environment defined by natural drainage and seasonal water levels. Wolf Cr feeds into the larger system from the west, contributing to a region where the geography is shaped almost entirely by these primary watercourses. This map provides a clear view of the hydrological patterns of the Southeast Fairbanks region before any major infrastructure or development altered the natural flow of the interior.
