2021 Map of Fairbanks D-3 NW

About this map

Murphy Dome anchors this high-latitude terrain northwest of Fairbanks, where the drainage network of the Yukon-Tanana Uplands dictates the path of local infrastructure. A complex system of interior waterways, including Murphy Cr, Keystone Cr, and Fortune Cr, carves through the landscape, feeding eventually toward the broader valley systems. The road network reflects the logistical challenges of the subarctic, with Murphy Dome Road and its extension providing primary access across the high ground. To the southeast, a concentration of named thoroughfares like Reconstruction Road, Seward Road, and Emancipation Lane suggests a more recent corridor of activity or development along the Cache Creek drainage. This modern 2021 survey illustrates how contemporary surveying methods reconcile the wilderness of t2n r4w with the increasing reach of the Fairbanks North Star Borough.
