1966 Map of Fairbanks D-2 NE

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The settlement of Fox serves as a central point in this mid-1960s survey of the Alaskan interior north of Fairbanks. The landscape is defined by the legacy of mining and the expanding presence of government operations, most notably the Gilmore Data Acquisition Facility and the expansive Gilmore Military Reservation. Evidence of the region’s extractive history is visible in the extensive Dredge Tailings following Goldstream Creek and the paths of an Old Railroad Grade. To the south, the map transitions into the northern reaches of the Fort Wainwright Military Reservation near the settlement of Wigwam. Transportation is anchored by the Steese Highway and Elliott Highway, which connect remote outposts like Grace and Truth Chapel and the recreation site at Ski Boot Hill to the broader territory. Local drainages like Steele Creek and Isabella Creek carve through the terrain, illustrating the complex hydrology of the Tanana Valley watershed.
