2013 Map of Fairbanks D-4 SE

About this map

Standard and the nearby settlement of California sit at the southern edge of the high Interior hills, marking a transition into the wetland-rich valley of Goldstream Cr. The landscape is defined by its drainage network, with the headwaters of Standard Cr, Glacier Cr, and Left-Fork Cache Cr cutting through the upland topography. These streams flow south and west toward the complex lowlands that characterize the region north of the Tanana River. Human passage through this terrain is primarily facilitated by the historic Sled Rd, which skirts the base of the hills, providing a vital connection through the muskeg and valley floor. The boundary between Yukon-Koyukuk and Fairbanks North Star boroughs bisects the quadrangle, reflecting the administrative divisions in this part of Alaska where wilderness and sparse settlement meet.
