1951 Map of Circle A-5
USGS Topo · Published 1964About this map
Chena Hot Springs serves as the focal point of this interior Alaskan map, situated near the confluence of Monument Creek and the North Fork Chena River. The 1951 survey, with minor revisions in the early 1960s, documents a landscape where high mountain terrain meets the beginnings of modern accessibility. A road marked Under Construction follows the path of the West Fork Chena River, signaling the push to connect this remote area. The presence of a Landing Strip and an isolated Cabin reflects the reliance on light aircraft and small-scale outposts in the subarctic wilderness. Significant elevations like Mt Ryan and Chena Dome dominate the topography, while a network of drainages such as Angel Creek and Frozenfoot Creek define the jagged valleys of the Fairbanks North Star region.
