I've also provided links to take you to pages that have information you might want to coordinate with the map. The pages will open in a separate window so you can look at both the map and page information.
Instructions For Online Maps: Zoom in on each map to get a more detailed view. Left click on each bubble marker to read the notes that will identify the marked point and give you some additional information on it. Besides familiarization with names and places, it will be easier to understand directions given on the various pages of this website.
Taylor Highway - Tetlin Junction to Eagle. Starts at Milepost 1302, Alaska Highway, just 77 miles (123.92km) inside the Alaska Border. This road is more than half gravel and has some pretty bad sections between Chicken and Eagle, so plan on some slow traveling between those points. 160 miles (257.5km) long.
Steese Highway - Fairbanks to Circle - This one will fool you with it's modern 4-lane highway leaving Fairbanks, called the Steese Expressway. But that doesn't last for long. It remains paved for about 60 miles but then turns to gravel. And between Central and Circle it becomes narrow and winding-definitely NOT an expressway at this point. However, it does remain open year around—unusual for our gravel highways. 161 miles (259.1km) long.
Elliott Highway - Fox to Manley Hot Springs. Is paved and open year around as far as its junction with the Dalton Highway. After that, it is still the original winding, gravel highway it has been since it was completed in 1959. 152 miles (244.62km) long.
Dalton Highway The Dalton Highway begins 73 miles (118 km) north of Fox at its junction with the Elliott Highway. This is the highway that was originally called the North Slope Haul Road because it was used for trucking supplies needed to build the Trans-Alaska Pipeline. Mostly gravel, it can get rough due to heavy use. It is 415 miles (667.88km) long.
Edgerton Highway and McCarthy Road - You can enter the Old or the New Edgerton Highway and end up in Chitina. From there you can take the McCarthy Road which is the south entrance into Wrangell-St. Elias National Park. The road takes you close to the ghost town of McCarthy, then you have a one mile walk at the end. Or you can bring a bike across the footbridge and use that. Shuttles will take you to the Kennecott Mines from there or you can bike or hike the additional 6 miles. Quite a historic location.
New Edgerton Highway is about 33 miles (53.11km) long. McCarthy Road is about 60 miles (96.56km) long and for summer use only - fill up with gas in Chitina.
Now we have an Alaska road map for each of the major secondary highways or roads. Despite the fact that Alaska is mostly road-less, there are still a few other road maps I could provide you that will help you get around....
