About this map

Fairbanks serves as the focal point of this mid-1950s interior Alaska survey, appearing as a growing urban hub where the Alaska Railroad meets the Chena River. The map captures the significant military and academic presence that defined the era, including the sprawling Ladd Air Force Base and the University of Alaska campus at College. Residential expansion is evident in neighborhoods like Hamilton Acres, Aurora Garden, and Lemeta, while industrial activity is represented by various gold mines and the Ladd Air Force Bombing and Gunnery Range to the south.
