1950 Map of Fairbanks B-1

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The Blair Lake Air Force Range dominates this mid-century Alaskan landscape, centered on a strategic interior region south of Fairbanks. The terrain is defined by the braided channels of the Tanana River in the northeast and a complex network of wetlands and small lakes further south. Aviation and military utility are central to the map's features, evidenced by the Landing Strip situated between the primary Blair Lakes. This remote territory includes landmarks such as VABM Flat 1406 and the winding course of Dry Creek, which meanders through the range. The sparse infrastructure suggests a landscape primarily dedicated to military training and surveying in the years following World War II, before significant civilian development altered the regional character.
