1952 Map of Tanana A-4

About this map

The confluence of the Yukon River and the Tanana River dominates this mid-century sub-arctic landscape, revealing a complex network of braids, sloughs, and islands. Near the western edge, Indian Village and Mission Hill stand as focal points of settlement, while a Native Cem is marked further south along the Tanana. The survey captures the transport realities of the era through several marked Tractor Trails that parallel the riverbanks, connecting remote sites like the Cabin near Sixteenmile Island. The intricate hydrology of the region is evident in the numerous namesake water bodies such as Twelvemile Lake and Eightmile Slough. Landmarks like Station Rock at Squaw Crossing indicate specific points of navigation or crossing in a terrain defined by shifting river channels and seasonal overflow areas like Hay Slough.
