About this map

Gilmore Dome rises as a prominent landmark in this interior Alaskan landscape, which is defined by a dense network of mining prospects and specialized scientific facilities. The presence of the Fairbanks No 2 NASA Data Aquisition Facility and the Eielson Alaska Long Period Array Research Site highlights the region's importance for aerospace and geophysical research during the late twentieth century.

Resource extraction and transportation infrastructure shape the valleys, with an Open Pit Mine near Victoria Creek and the notable Trans-Alaska Pipeline crossing the southwestern corner. Traditional access routes like the Winter Trail and Chena Hot Springs Road provide the primary links across the drainage basins of the Little Chena River and its various tributaries, including Smallwood Creek and Nugget Creek.
