1950 Map of Fairbanks C-1

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The Tanana River dominates this mid-century landscape, its wide, braided channels flanked by an intricate network of secondary waterways like Salchaket Slough and Piledriver Slough. This region reflects the heavy mid-century military presence in the Alaska interior, with significant acreage dedicated to the Fort Wainwright Military Reservation and the Dyke Range Military Reservation. The infrastructure of the Cold War era is anchored by Eielson Air Force Base, which is supported by vital transportation corridors including the Alaska Railroad and the Richardson Highway. North of the river, the landscape transitions toward Moose Creek Bluff and the confluence of Chena Slough, illustrating the intersection of natural river dynamics and strategic 20th-century development in the Tanana Valley.
