2016 Map of Tanana A-4 SW

About this map

The Tanana River dominates the northern reaches of this interior Alaskan landscape, shaping a complex hydrology of shifting channels and lowlands. A prominent point of interest is Squaw Crossing, where the river's path interacts with the surrounding wetland environment. To the south, the topography rises into the Aeolian Hills, a landform suggesting wind-deposited origins that contrast with the fluvial patterns of the river basin. The drainage network is further defined by the meandering path of Birch Cr, which threads through the central and southern sections of the quadrangle. Navigational landmarks such as Station Rocks and Station Rock provide fixed points along the water, while Green Slough indicates the presence of secondary waterways and seasonal flow patterns typical of this subarctic river system.
