1950 Map of Fairbanks C-4

About this map

The Alaska Railroad cuts through the northwestern corridor of this landscape, following the lower elevations near Little Goldstream Creek and Twomile Lake. The central and southern portions of the terrain are dominated by the braided channels of the Tanana River, which creates a complex network of islands and shifting waterways. South of the main river channel, the landscape transitions into a low-lying area where the Wood River and Tatlanika Creek converge, illustrating the hydrological patterns of the interior before modern development. Evidence of early infrastructure and human presence is sparse but significant, marked by the Nenana Road, a Winter Trail, and an isolated Cabin along the riverbank. A large section of the eastern riverside is designated as a Bombing and Gunnery Range, reflecting the mid-century military footprint in the territory.
