Charlieskin Village was once a small, unincorporated community in Southeast Fairbanks Census Area, Alaska, United States. An unincorporated community is a place that doesn't have its own local government, like a city or town. Instead, it's usually managed by a larger county or state.

Where Was Charlieskin Village?

Charlieskin Village was located in the beautiful state of Alaska. It sat along a waterway called Charlieskin Creek. This spot was about 5.5 miles (8.8 km) south of another place called Northway Junction. It was also near a community known as Kathakne. The land where the village used to be is now part of the Northway Census Designated Place (CDP). A CDP is an area that looks like a town but isn't officially incorporated as one.

What Happened to Charlieskin Village?

The elevation of Charlieskin Village was 1,696 feet (517 meters) above sea level. This means it was quite high up! However, as of 2019, if you look at aerial maps (like from an airplane or satellite), you won't find any buildings left at the site. The community has never reported a population in any official census. This means it was likely a very small settlement, or perhaps a temporary one, that eventually became empty. Today, it's essentially a ghost community.
