1956 Map of Tanacross

About this map

Tanacross and Tok serve as the primary hubs in this remote Alaskan corridor where the Alaska Highway meets the Taylor Highway at Tetlin Junction. The landscape is dominated by the sprawling Tanana River system and its complex of wetlands, including the Mosquito Flats and the Tetlin National Wildlife Refuge. This survey captures the region as its road network began to solidify the connection between the interior and the Alaska Yukon border, while older routes like the Eagle Trail and Winter Trail remain visible.
