This vast census area encompasses boreal forests, the Alaska Highway corridor, and remote wilderness areas extending toward the Canadian border. The landscape includes the Tanana River system, extensive spruce and birch forests, and scattered communities connected by limited road systems.
Small-scale agriculture takes advantage of the continental climate with hay production, vegetable gardening, and limited livestock operations along transportation corridors. Farms serve local communities and take advantage of long summer daylight hours for crop production in the challenging interior climate.
