2013 Map of Fairbanks D-3 NE

About this map

Ester Dome anchors the southern portion of this interior Alaskan landscape, overseeing a complex network of creeks and rising ridge-lines north of Fairbanks. The settlement pattern here is dictated by the high-latitude terrain, with residential clusters like Goldstream and Martin positioned near the lifeblood of Goldstream Cr. The infrastructure is a mixture of established routes and evocative local names, where Murphy Dome Rd and Ester Dome Rd traverse the upland areas between drainage basins. Tributaries such as Spinach Cr, Nugget Cr, and Little Nugget Cr carve through the hills, illustrating the drainage patterns that historically supported mining and prospecting in this region. This modern survey captures the persistence of the Saulich area and the expansion of rural residential development along roads like Rocky Mountain Rd and Smokey Mountain Rd.
