2016 Map of Tanana B-6 SW

About this map

Grant Dome and Lynx Dome anchor the high ground of this interior Alaska wilderness, defining a landscape of complex drainages within the Tanana B-6 SW quadrangle. The terrain is deeply inscribed by a network of creeks including Golden Cr, Tazimoran Cr, and Grant Cr, which radiate from the central uplands. The nomenclature of these waterways—such as Thirteen Pup, Gay Cr, and Frankie Cr—hints at the era of early prospecting and localized mining claims that often followed these remote tributary systems. This 2016 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey provides a precise record of the natural topography, showing the intricate relationship between the elevated domes and the various colored and named streams like Yellow Cr and Bluebell Cr that carve through the surrounding valleys.
