Coverage and distance method

This is a curated directory, not an inventory of every military property. State lists use the state named in the installation’s listed community and do not describe every boundary or satellite site.

Metro lists include mapped points within 75 miles of an approximate center averaged from GeoNames postal-place records for Fairbanks, AK. A straight-line radius is not a metropolitan boundary or a driving commute. Installation map points do not identify entry gates.
