About this map

Clear Air Force Auxiliary Field dominates the central landscape of this interior Alaska survey, marked as inactive at the start of the 1950s. The region is defined by the braided path of the Nenana River and the winding Teklanika River, which create a complex network of waterways including Seventeenmile Slough and Lost Slough. Infrastructure in this wilderness era was largely tied to The Alaska Railroad, which parallels a string of milestones and small rail stops like Julius and Clear. Beyond the iron rail, transportation relied on seasonal routes such as a Sled Trail and Winter Trail, reflecting the extreme environment of the Fourth Judicial Division. Genealogists and historians can trace the early footprint of military and rail presence in this subarctic region before later twentieth-century developments altered the local geography.
