2021 Map of Fairbanks D-3 SE
USGS Topo · Published 2021About this map
Ester serves as the focal point of this interior Alaska survey, where the legacy of early 20th-century mining is still reflected in the contemporary road network and landscape. The settlement is situated at the confluence of several prominent waterways, including Ester Cr and Ready Bullion Cr, with the prominent Chena Ridge rising to the southeast. The area's mineral history is suggested by local thoroughfares such as Gold Lode Road, Quartz Road, and Stone Road, while more established transportation corridors like the Parks Highway and the Old Nenana Highway provide regional connectivity. This 2021 update records the expanding residential footprint around Chena Ridge, where modern subdivisions like Peartree Loop and Sonata Drive now contrast with the older, more isolated routes like the Old Ridge Trail and Eva Creek Trl that wind through Moose Gulch.
