1949 Map of Fairbanks D-1

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Gilmore Dome rises above a complex network of gold-bearing creeks and drainage gulches north of the Chena River valley. In this 1949 survey, later updated to show the massive infrastructure projects of the 1970s, the landscape transitions from the rugged mining district near Gilmore to the emerging suburban and industrial corridor of the interior. The map documents the alignment of The Trans-Alaska Pipeline and the growth of North Pole, which sits strategically between the Chena River and the Tanana River. The presence of the Alaska Railroad and the Alaska Richardson Highway highlights the region's importance as a transportation hub. Local genealogy and history are preserved in family-named routes like Badger Road, Peede Road, and Plack Road, alongside rural landmarks such as Two Rivers Sch and the Bradley Sky Ranch.
