About this map

Fairbanks serves as the focal point of this interior Alaskan study, showing the city's relationship to the surrounding wilderness and military installations during the mid-20th century. The intricate braid of the Tanana River and its many sloughs, such as Crescent Slough, dominate the lowlands, while The Alaska Railroad provides the primary industrial artery connecting remote outposts like Dunbar and Nenana.
