1952 Map of Fairbanks A-4

About this map

The Totatlanika River carves through this northern landscape, providing the primary drainage for a network of gold-bearing tributaries. In the early 1950s, resource extraction remained a central feature of the terrain, anchored by the Liberty Bell Mine and an active Placer Mine located along Coal Creek. The map documents a rugged industrial infrastructure where transport depended heavily on a Sled Road in the north and several isolated Airstrips near the mining camps. High elevation points like Rex Dome and VABM Coal 4165 overlook a complex watershed including California Creek and McAdam Creek. The distribution of scattered Cabins underscores the seasonal and transient nature of settlement during this period, focused almost entirely on the mineral potential of the drainage basins.
