2013 Map of Tanacross D-5 NE

About this map

Mosquito Fork dominates the hydrology of this interior Alaskan landscape, meandering across the southern portion of the quadrangle. The river’s winding course and adjacent marshy lowlands contrast with the high-elevation ridges that rise to over 4,000 feet in the northern sections. This 2013 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey highlights a region defined by its isolation and lack of human infrastructure, where natural water features like Square Lake provide the only major named landmarks. The map illustrates the transition from high mountain slopes to the broad, watery basin of the fork, revealing the drainage patterns typical of the Southeast Fairbanks region.
