History of Development in Fairbanks

Interior Alaska Land Trust

Comparing satellite images from 1984 to 2021 demonstrates the increasing need for conservation within and around Fairbanks.

Founded in 1995, Interior Alaska Land Trust has worked with landowners to protect or acquire for the purposes of stewardship, enjoyment, and voluntary conservation of the land.

Let's now compare aerial imagery from 1949 to satellite imagery from 2021 within specific areas of Fairbanks.

All data is from the US Geological Survey (EarthExplorer).
