1952 Map of Fairbanks C-3

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

The Tanana River and its intricate network of braided channels dominate this mid-century Alaskan landscape southwest of Fairbanks. Significant military activity is evident across the southern half of the terrain, where the Ladd Air Force Base boundary gives way to an extensive Bombing and Gunnery Range. The hydraulic complexity of the region is captured through the detailed mapping of Whiskey Slough, Hadley Slough, and the meandering Wood River. Named landforms like Sam Charley Island provide a sense of scale amidst the marshy lowlands and numerous small tributaries such as Bonanza Creek and Crooked Creek. This survey reflects the post-war strategic importance of the Alaska-Fourth Judicial Division, balancing natural river systems with the infrastructure of mid-20th-century national defense.
