1950 Map of Fairbanks B-1

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Fort Wainwright land dominates the center of this terrain, where military training and aviation infrastructure meet the interior wilderness. The braided channels of the Tanana River cut through the northeastern corner, illustrating the dynamic glacial runoff patterns characteristic of the Fairbanks North Star Borough. Further south, the Blair Lakes basin provides a significant focal point in an otherwise undulating landscape of ridges and wetlands, supported by a remote Landing Strip for bush pilots or military access. The inclusion of Dry Creek and Mc Donald Creek reveals the complex drainage network feeding into the larger river systems. This edition, based on 1949 and 1950 data with 1972 photorevisions, captures the intersection of postwar military expansion and the untouched geography of the Alaskan interior.
