1954 Map of Tanacross D-6

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

T Lake sits at the heart of this mid-century survey of the Alaska interior, where complex drainage patterns define the wilderness of the Tanacross quadrangle. The landscape is dominated by the winding path of the Mosquito Fork and its tributaries, including Sand Creek and Billy Creek. High-altitude surveying markers, including VABM Marchant and VABM Mosquito, provide the primary points of orientation across the high elevations. This document reflects the era of early aerial mapping in the Fourth Judicial Division, using 1954 photography to chart a region that, at the time of publication, contained no established roads or trails. The map is a study of unbridled hydrography, showing the intricate marshlands and fluctuating water levels that characterized the eastern Alaska landscape before modern infrastructure reached these corridors.
