1950 Map of Fairbanks B-2

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

The Wood River winds through the southern reaches of this Interior Alaska landscape, establishing a natural corridor through a region dominated by mid-century military activity. Surveyed in 1949, the terrain is largely defined by the expansive Bombing and Gunnery Range, which occupies the central portion of the sheet. This designation highlights the strategic importance of the Tanana Valley during the early Cold War era. The area is divided by the Fairbanks Meridian, with several significant waterways like Willow Creek and Clear Creek draining north toward the Tanana. To the south, the Military Reservation Boundary (Approximate) marks the edge of federal control near Gold King Creek and Bonnifield Creek. The map reflects a period before extensive permanent settlement in this specific quadrangle, showing a wilderness landscape organized primarily for defense and resource surveying.
