1952 Map of Fairbanks A-1

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

The interior Alaskan landscape is defined here by the winding course of Dry Creek and its tributary Slide Creek, captured during a 1949 aerial survey and published shortly thereafter. The topography reveals a dramatic transition from the alluvial flats and wetlands in the north toward the rising mountain fronts in the south. Surveyors from the Geological Survey utilized primary elevation markers such as VABM Slide 3609 and VABM Spirk 1277 to map this unpopulated wilderness. The map's contour lines and drainage patterns illustrate the complex hydrological network of the Fourth Judicial Division before significant modern development, providing a detailed record of the natural terrain as it existed in the mid-twentieth century.
