1952 Map of Fairbanks C-2

About this map

Ladd Air Force Base dominates the northern portion of this landscape during the early Cold War era, serving as a critical strategic installation in the Alaskan interior. The terrain is characterized by a complex network of waterways, including Salchaket Slough and the winding course of Clear Creek. To the south, a large Bombing and Gunnery Range indicates the area's primary mid-century use for military training and maneuvers. A distinctive topographical landmark, Clear Creek Butte, rises above the surrounding lowlands, providing a clear point of reference for the historic Bonnifield Trail which cuts through the center of the sheet. This map captures the intersection of wilderness and federal military expansion, where traditional routes like the Bonnifield intersect with restricted zones and hydrological features like Willow Creek and Dry Creek.
