About this map

Murphy Dome anchors the northwest corner of this sub-arctic landscape, where a network of trails and roads like Old Murphy Dome Road and Spinach Creek Road connect scattered mining prospects and research installations. The Eielson Alaska Long Period Array Research Site occupies a central ridge, while the southern valley floor transitions into the more developed outskirts of the region. This area is defined by the winding course of Goldstream Creek and its many tributaries, including O'Connor Creek and Happy Creek. The presence of the Old Railroad Grade and several Gravel Pits reflects the area's industrial utility, while the Creamers Field State Migratory Waterfowl Refuge and the Northern Lights Memorial Cem mark significant local landmarks. The settlement of Dogpatch sits near the Fairbanks Country Club Golf Course, illustrating the suburban expansion north of the city center.
