1966 Map of Fairbanks D-2 NW

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Murphy Dome anchors the high ground of the northern interior, overlooking a landscape defined by the intersection of aviation, mining, and the rail industry. The lowlands are marked by Goldstream Creek and the extensive Dredge Tailings that signal the area's rich prospecting history. Transportation networks are central to this 1960s landscape, featuring The Alaska Railroad and the Old Railroad Grade winding through the valley floor. Small clusters of settlement like Musk Ox, Dogpatch, and Happy appear alongside local landmarks such as Goldstream Airfield and the Fairbanks Country Club. The northern portion of the map is dominated by a large Military Reservation, while family and local history is anchored at the Northern Lights Memorial Cem. This survey illustrates the transition from resource extraction to established community infrastructure outside of the main city center.
