1960 Map of Tanana

About this map

The confluence of the Yukon River and the Tanana River anchors this Interior Alaska landscape, where traditional river travel meets the early infrastructure of the 1950s and 1960s. The settlement of Tanana sits at this vital junction, marked by a post office and proximity to Mission Hill. To the east, the historic mining district around Eureka and Tofty is visible, featuring numerous placer mines and a network of seasonal trails. The map documents the presence of Native Cem sites and remote outposts like Rampart along the winding Yukon. Beyond the river valleys, the Ray Mountains rise toward the north, with Mt Henry Eakin and Mt Tozi serving as prominent landmarks. This survey also captures the early state of the Highway near Manley Hot Springs and the expansive boundaries of the Kanuti National Wildlife Refuge and Nowitna National Wildlife Refuge.
