2017 Map of Fairbanks D-2 SE

About this map

The Chena River and Tanana River define the intricate waterways and lowlands of the Fairbanks area, where modern infrastructure meets the vast Alaskan landscape. Residential developments such as Lemeta, Slaterville, and Hamilton Acres are situated near the city center, while the large expanse of Ladd Army Airfield dominates the central portion of the map, signifying the long-standing military presence in the region. To the north, Birch Hill rises above the river valley, hosting the Birch Hill Cem. The map reveals how the city has grown around natural features like Bentley Island and Noyes Slough, with newer neighborhoods like Dennis Manor and Badger extending to the east. Several smaller airfields, including Metro Field, highlight the critical role of aviation in this interior Alaskan hub, while the sprawling braids of the Tanana River at the south provide a stark contrast to the structured street grids of the urban core.
