1966 Map of Fairbanks D-2 SW

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

The University of Alaska campus and the sprawling Fort Wainwright Military Reservation anchor this mid-1960s study of the Interior's largest hub. The landscape is defined by the complex hydrology of the Tanana River and Chena River, where braided channels create significant landforms like Byers Island and Wenrich Island. The intersection of heavy industry and civil infrastructure is evident in the Dredge Tailings near Gold Hill and the extensive tracks of the Alaska Railroad serving the heart of Fairbanks. This era shows a community in transition, with established neighborhoods like College and Broadmoor expanding alongside the critical aviation facilities at Fairbanks International Airport and the smaller Metro Field.
