2016 Map of Tanana A-3 SW

About this map

Fish Lake dominates the central portion of this landscape, surrounded by a complex system of ponds and marshes that characterize the interior of the Tanana region. The drainage patterns are defined by a network of wandering waterways including Fish Cr, American Cr, and Eldorado Creek which snake through the flat lowlands. This environment is punctuated by larger water bodies such as Spring Camp Lake and Long Lake, suggesting a terrain shaped by heavy seasonal saturation and alluvial deposits. Higher ground appears to the north, where the topography rises toward hills drained by Boulder Cr and Blueberry Cr. The lack of road infrastructure and the prevalence of sloughs like Hay Slough underscore the reliance on natural water corridors for navigation through this wilderness in the early twenty-first century.
