2016 Map of Fairbanks A-1 NW

About this map

Dry Creek winds through the interior landscape of the Alaska-Denali Borough, providing the primary hydrological landmark in this vast stretch of the subarctic. Surveyed by the U.S. Geological Survey to modern standards, the terrain is defined by complex contour elevations that illustrate the drainage patterns across several townships, including t8s r1e, t8s r2e, t9s r1e, and t9s r2e. This map documents the remote character of the Fairbanks A-1 NW region, where the Absence of permanent roads or settlements highlights the isolation of the Alaskan wilderness. Researchers studying the topography of the Denali area can use this record to trace the natural path of seasonal waterways and the precise boundaries of the Public Land Survey System as they existed in the early twenty-first century.
