2013 Map of Fairbanks C-3 SW

About this map

Wood River serves as the central physical artery for this interior Alaskan landscape, its winding course carving through a complex network of wetlands and oxbow lakes. The map records the jurisdictional divide of the Fairbanks North Star and Yukon-Koyukuk boundary, which follows the meandering path of the river through this unpopulated expanse. This 2013 survey illustrates a wilderness defined by its hydrography, where the shifting river channel creates a mosaic of seasonal water bodies and marshes. The lack of road infrastructure or permanent settlements underscores the region's character as a remote corridor between the Tanana Valley and the Alaska Range foothills, where natural drainage patterns dictate the structure of the land.
