1949 Map of Tanacross

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

The Tanana River and its expansive floodplain anchor this mid-century look at the eastern Alaska interior. The landscape is defined by the intersection of traditional settlements and emerging cold-war era infrastructure, notably the Tanacross Airfield and the Mineral Point Emergency Landing Field. The Alaska Highway runs through the heart of the region, connecting critical outposts like Tok Junction and Tetlin Junction, while the older Eagle Trail provides a link to the historical overland travel routes of the territory's earlier days.
