1956 Map of Tanana B-5

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

The Tozitna River meanders sharply across this mid-century Alaskan interior landscape, creating a complex network of oxbows and wetlands in the northwestern quadrant. Mapped during the mid-1950s using aerial photography, the terrain is defined by a series of significant drainage systems, including the west-flowing Reindeer Creek and the southern reaches of Tenmile Creek. The absence of established roads or structures on this sheet underscores the isolation of the Yukon-Koyukuk region at the time of the survey. Instead, the geography is dictated by the natural corridors of Hellbent Creek and Bear Creek, which cut through the varying elevations of the Tanana quadrangle. This document provides a record of the unsurveyed and unmarked land lines as predetermined by the Bureau of Land Management, offering a foundational view of the area's hydrology and topography before further development or modern environmental changes.
