About this map

Tanana sits at the confluence of two of Alaska's most significant interior waterways, where the Tanana River meets the Yukon River. This 2023 survey documents the modern layout of the settlement, including the Tanana Cem and the surrounding transportation network of the Mission Hill Road and Tanana Road. The landscape is dominated by a complex system of islands and waterways, including Mission Island, Sixmile Island, and Twelvemile Island, which suggest a dynamic river environment where landforms are shaped by seasonal ice and flow.

Upland features like Mission Hill provide a vantage point over the marshy lowlands characterized by Sixmile Lake and Donahoe Lake. The northern reaches of the map are accessed via the White Alice Road, while various sloughs such as Hay Slough and Eightmile Slough weave through the river delta. This map serves as a detailed reference for the remote interior geography where the river remains the primary artery of the region.
