1952 Map of Fairbanks A-3

About this map

Tatlanika Creek serves as the central drainage for this interior Alaskan territory, flowing through a landscape defined by industrial and transportation routes used during the early 1950s. The map illustrates a northern frontier economy where mobility relied on a primitive Sled Road and specialized infrastructure like the Grubstake Airstrip. Evidence of resource extraction is clear near the southern reaches of the creek, where a Placer Mine sits at the confluence of several tributaries, including Grubstake Creek and Roosevelt Creek. Isolated structures, such as a lone Cabin on the banks of Gold King Creek, suggest the sparse, seasonal habitation typical of this era. The drainage patterns of Boulder Creek and Moose Creek further detail the complex watershed that directed prospectors and surveyors through these high-elevation valleys.
