1966 Map of Fairbanks D-2 SW

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

The Tanana River and Chenna River dominate this mid-1960s landscape, illustrating the complex hydrology surrounding the city of Fairbanks. Significant portions of the terrain are shaped by industrial mining history, specifically visible in the extensive Dredge Tailings north of Chena Ridge. The integration of transportation and education is evident as the Alaska Railroad skirts the southern edge of the University of Alaska campus near College. Urban development is concentrated around several sloughs and aviation hubs, including the Fairbanks International Airport and Metro Field. To the south, the expansive Fort Wainwright Military Reservation occupies the flatlands between the major river systems, while neighborhood growth is noted in areas like Aurora and Broadmoor.
