1950 Map of Fairbanks C-1

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

The braided channels of the Tanana River dominate this mid-century landscape southeast of Fairbanks, reflecting a period of significant military and infrastructure expansion in the Alaskan interior. The eastern edge of the map is defined by the massive footprint of Eielson Air Force Base, positioned strategically alongside The Alaska Railroad and the Richardson Highway. This corridor serves as the region's primary transport artery, connecting the settlement of Moose Creek to the broader territory. Beyond the developed base, the land is largely utilized for defense purposes, including an extensive Military Reservation and a designated Bombing and Gunnery Range. The complex hydrology of the area is evident in the numerous side channels and waterways like Chena Slough, Salchaket Slough, and Piledriver Slough, which weave through the low-lying terrain beneath Moose Creek Bluff.
