1950 Map of Fairbanks D-3

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Alaska Railroad tracks wind through the heart of this interior Alaskan landscape, connecting the small settlements of Saulich and Old Saulich as the line parallels the meandering course of Goldstream Creek. The map documents a rugged subarctic environment defined by complex hydrology and high-altitude landmarks, including the prominent Ester Dome Observatory and Murphy Dome, which hosts a Military Reservation and its associated landing strip. To the south, the Bonanza Creek Experimental Forest borders the wide reaches of the Tanana River. Near the Ester settlement, specialized infrastructure like a ski lodge and the Ready Bullion Creek Trail indicate the transition of the area from purely industrial or military use toward recreational and residential life as Fairbanks expanded in the mid-20th century.
