1953 Map of Fairbanks C-6

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Kantishna River meanders through this interior Alaska landscape, defining the western edge of a region characterized by extensive wetlands and glacial drainage patterns. Surveyed in the early 1950s, the terrain shows a vast network of unnamed ponds and marshes typical of the low-lying Tanana Valley periphery. Black Bear Lake sits as a prominent landmark amidst the muskeg, while Rock Creek drains the northern reaches. The lack of roads or established settlements on this sheet reflects the isolation of the Yukon-Koyukuk region during this era, where travel was primarily dictated by the seasonal flow of major waterways and the frozen winter tundra.
