    Geologic map of the Fairbanks D-1 SW Quadrangle, Alaska

    Metadata Updated: August 11, 2025

    Geologic map of the Fairbanks D-1 SW Quadrangle, Alaska, Miscellaneous Investigations Series Map 949, presents the findings of a geologic investigation into bedrock and surficial deposits within the Fairbanks D-1 quadrangle, a 60-square-mile region in central Alaska. The area encompasses parts of the Fairbanks urban area, including the community of North Pole. With a rich history of gold mining, the region continues to be actively mined for gravel and other geologic materials. A thick blanket of Quaternary-age loess, ranging from a few inches to several hundred feet, covers nearly the entire quadrangle. Urban developers face ongoing challenges related to groundwater contamination, thermokarst formation, and issues stemming from land subsidence. The map is designed to provide broad guidelines to assist city planners and land-use decision-makers in managing development within the area. The complete report, geodatabase, and ESRI fonts and style files are available from the DGGS website: https://dggs.alaska.gov/pubs/12954.
