1952 Map of Fairbanks A-6

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Teklanika River, Sushana River, and the Toklat River dominate this subarctic landscape, carving through a region defined by extensive wetlands and braided waterways. The geography captured here reflects the early 1950s interior of Alaska, a wilderness largely devoid of permanent settlements and accessible primarily via a Winter Trail that cuts across the northern reaches. Surveyed by the Bureau of Land Management and the U.S. Geological Survey, the map provides precise vertical control points such as VABM 1006 Nika and VABM 1451 Rick. The intricate drainage patterns and swamp notations, interpreted from 1951 aerial photography, reveal the shifting nature of the riverbeds and the low-relief terrain that characterizes the Fairbanks meridian prior to modern infrastructure developments.
