1956 Map of Tanana D-1

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

The Yukon River sweeps through the southeast corner of this interior Alaskan landscape, a region defined by its complex drainage network and isolated outposts. Based on 1950s field data with 1970s revisions, the map reveals the industrial imposition of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline cutting across the northeast. Away from this modern corridor, the terrain remains dominated by the winding paths of the Ray River and the Big Salt River, where several Cabins signify the sparse human presence in this wilderness. High points like VABM 2492 Ray and VABM 1585 Trail provide surveying benchmarks overlooking numerous tributaries, including Salt Creek and the aptly named Dreamland Creek. The riverine environment is further detailed by features such as Kalka Island, illustrating the shifting bars and channels of the great northern waterways during the mid-twentieth century.
