2013 Map of Fairbanks B-1 SE

About this map

Birch Lake sits near the northwestern corner of this interior Alaskan landscape, providing a rare landmark in a region defined by the winding course of McDonald Cr. This 2013 survey primarily documents the borderlands of the Fairbanks North Star Denali boundary, where the Tanana Valley gives way to the rising elevations of the interior foothills. The map reveals a largely undeveloped terrain, marked primarily by the administrative lines of the Public Land Survey System and the natural drainage patterns that flow toward the Tanana River system. The absence of modern infrastructure beyond basic road corridors underscores the remote character of this part of the Fairbanks North Star Borough during the early twenty-first century.
