2013 Map of Fairbanks C-2 NE

About this map

Salchaket Slough and its intricate drainage network dominate this Alaskan landscape south of Fairbanks. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of McDonald Cr and Bear Creek, illustrating the complex hydrology of the Tanana Valley floor. A significant historical land route, the Bonnifield Trl, cuts through the western portion of the map, representing a vital corridor for travel and transport across the interior. The presence of this trail alongside the natural waterways highlights the intersection of early pioneer infrastructure and the persistent physical geography of the North Star Borough. The map's detail shows how the township and range lines, such as the transition from T 2 S to T 3 S, impose a geometric grid over a wilderness defined by meanders and sloughs.
