About this map

Fort Wainwright military lands dominate the southern portion of this landscape, where the Maneuver Area and the Chena River Research Site reflect the mid-century intersection of defense and environmental study in Alaska. The Chena River meanders across the northern half, feeding a complex network of wetlands including Mullen Slough and Jenny M. These water bodies are flanked by the Chena River State Recreation Site Tract A, emphasizing the region's dual identity as both a high-use military training ground and a protected wilderness space.

Evidence of seasonal travel and light infrastructure appears in the form of a Winter Trail and several scattered Cabins. These features, along with small-scale industrial sites like a Gravel Pit and a Radio Facility, indicate how the terrain was utilized for both communication and material extraction. The convergence of Horner Creek and Hunts Creek into the main river channel showcases the natural drainage patterns that have long dictated movement through this interior Alaskan territory.
