1949 Map of Fairbanks D-1

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

The Chena River and its intricate network of sloughs dominate this 1949 survey of the Fairbanks backcountry, revealing a landscape defined by seasonal travel and mineral exploration. The southern reach of the sheet is anchored by the Alaska Railroad and the Richardson Highway, which cut across the lowlands near the Tanana River. This transport corridor serves as the gateway to a rugged interior where numerous creeks like Yellow Pup Creek and Last Chance Creek hint at the region's mining heritage.
