About this map

Shaw Creek Dome stands as a prominent topographical anchor in this subarctic interior, where the Fairbanks North Star Borough boundary meets an intricate network of waterways. The drainage pattern is dominated by Shaw Creek and the Goodpaster River, with numerous tributaries such as Tenmile Creek and Sevenmile Creek carving through the elevation.

Evidence of seasonal passage and early wilderness habitation is captured through the presence of a Winter Trail following the river valley and a solitary Cabin located near the northern reaches of the South Fork Salcha River. The map illustrates a landscape defined by its hydrology and relief, from the low-lying swamps along the riverbeds to the high ridges, providing a clear record of the region's land configuration as it was field annotated in the late 1950s.
