The gold-mining legacy of the Fairbanks district is clearly visible on this 1992 survey, centered on the historic mining camp of Ester. Extensive Tailings and multiple Prospects line the drainages of Ester Creek and Ready Bullion Creek, where an Open Pit Mine marks the industrial activity of the late 20th century. This landscape is a complex mix of extraction and preservation, with the Bonanza Creek Experimental Forest occupying the southwest, providing a buffer of managed wilderness against the development spreading from the George Parks Highway.
