1952 Map of Circle A-5

About this map

Chena Hot Springs serves as the focal point of activity on the eastern edge of the Fairbanks North Star Borough during the early 1950s. This interior Alaskan landscape is defined by the high elevations of Mt Ryan and Chena Dome, with the drainage systems of the Chena River and the West Fork King Creek carving through the territory. The southern portion of the map highlights the Chena River Recreation Area, where the Hot Springs Road provides essential access to the geothermal site and its accompanying Landing Strip. Local infrastructure is sparse, represented by a singular Cabin and a Gaging Sta on Monument Creek. The drainage patterns, including Frozenfoot Creek and Angel Creek, illustrate the complex hydrology of this subarctic region before extensive modern development altered the wilderness character of the North Fork valley.
