1950 Map of Fairbanks C-1

USGS Topo · Published 1992

About this map

Tanana River dominates this interior Alaska landscape, weaving a complex network of braided channels and seasonal waterways through the heart of the Fort Wainwright Military Reservation. The map details a landscape shaped by mid-century defense and infrastructure, most notably the expansive Eielson Air Force Base situated between Garrison Slough and French Creek. The transport corridor is defined by the Richardson Highway, which runs parallel to modern energy lifelines including The Alaska Pipeline and a dedicated Military Pipeline. Notable terrain features like Moose Creek Bluff overlook the confluence of the Chena Slough and the main river, while numerous smaller waterways such as Salchaket Slough and Piledriver Slough illustrate the dynamic alluvial environment. This 1950s record, updated with 1970s revisions, captures the strategic buildup and resource transit points that defined this region's post-war development.
