1949 Map of Fairbanks B-3

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Wood River winds southward through this interior Alaskan landscape, defining a complex corridor of wetlands and shifting channels as it appeared in the mid-20th century. The territory is largely defined by massive federal land tracts, specifically the Air Force Range and the Military Res Bdy, which occupy the eastern half of the map. To the west, the drainage of Tatlanika Creek cuts across an unsurveyed expanse of the Fairbanks Meridian. The map captures a transition in local governance within the Fairbanks North Star Borough, where the wilderness remains largely roadless. Prospectors and geologists would note the presence of Bonnifield Gold King Creek in the southeast, a name hinting at the region's mineral history. Small water bodies like Blair Lake and the elevated Buttes provide the few fixed landmarks in a terrain dominated by Fish Creek and Saint George Creek.
