2013 Map of Fairbanks C-6 NW

About this map

Kantishna River snakes through this remote interior landscape, creating a complex network of oxbows and wetlands characteristic of the Tanana Valley drainage system. The terrain is defined by low-lying hydrologic features, notably the broad Bear Lake and the various branches of Rock Creek. This area illustrates the shifting nature of subarctic waterways, where seasonal fluctuations and sediment transport constantly reshape the river banks and surrounding marshes. Aside from the natural water bodies and the township lines of the Public Land Survey System, the map reflects a region largely untouched by permanent road infrastructure or industrial development, preserving a snapshot of the Alaskan wilderness as it remained in the early 21st century.
