1956 Map of Tanana

About this map

The confluence of the Yukon River and Tanana River serves as the focal point of this mid-century interior Alaska survey, where the settlement of Tanana sits at the water's edge near Mission Hill. To the east, the historic mining district around Eureka and the community of Manley Hot Springs at the foot of Bean Ridge show the enduring infrastructure of early 20th-century resource extraction. The map documents a rugged landscape punctuated by the Ray Mountains and a series of prominent summits like Roughtop Mountain and Baldry Mountain.
