Southeast Fairbanks

Southeast Fairbanks Census Area spans 25,059 square miles across Alaska, featuring vast wilderness regions, small communities, and numerous mountain ranges.

The census area, established in 1980, developed through indigenous settlements, mining operations, and the gradual expansion of transportation networks in Alaska.

The region maintains strong ties to Native Alaskan traditions, with residents participating in subsistence hunting, fishing, and seasonal community gatherings.

Visitors require advanced planning for transportation as access primarily relies on small aircraft and seasonal roads connecting remote communities within the area.

The territory includes sections of three national preserves: Tetlin Wildlife Refuge, Wrangell-St. Elias Park, and Yukon-Charley Rivers.
