The University of Alaska Fairbanks campus sits prominently on the ridge above the river flats in this modern 2021 study of the Fairbanks area. The landscape transitions from the residential neighborhoods of College, Aurora, and Westgate into the intensive transportation and industrial corridors of the Alaska Railroad and the Fairbanks International Airport. The intricate hydrography of the interior is on full display, showcasing the winding Chena River and the braided channels of the Tanana River south of town. Several large river islands, including Byers Island, Wenrich Island, and Morgan Island, are documented within the shifting riverbeds. This map provides a clear record of modern suburban expansion along Chena Ridge and the industrial activity centered around South Van Horn and the Chena Marina Airport.
