1950 Map of Fairbanks A-4

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Tatlanika River drainage dominates this interior landscape, revealing a remote terrain defined by early resource extraction and seasonal travel. The presence of the Liberty Bell Mine and a Placer Mine near Wilson Creek indicates the region's mining activity during the mid-20th century, supported by basic aviation infrastructure like the Landing Strip near Iron Creek and a Landing Strip (Aban'd) further east. A lengthy Winter Trail cuts across the northern ridges, illustrating how the area was navigated when the ground was frozen, bypassing the steep grades near Rex Dome. The intricate network of family-named or prospector-named waterways, such as Emma Creek, Bonanza Creek, and Homestake Creek, points to a history of individual claims and small-scale operations across the hills south of the Tatlanika River's main course.
