| Description |
| Black Diamond Golf Course takes its' name from the historic Diamond Strip Mine. The Diamond Mine was developed in 1943 as part of the war minerals program of the US government and was instrumental in easing the coal shortages resulting from World War II. The coal lies in a formation known as the Nenana coal bed, a foot hill belt boarded in the south by the high rugged masses of the Alaska Range and to the north by the broad flats of the Tanana Valley. The coal was hauled by truck five miles down a gravel road to the small railroad town of Healy (established as a mining camp in about 1905) where the railway transported it to Fairbanks for use by the US Army. Although no longer active, and partially reclaimed by the forces of nature, the Diamond Mine and its' effect on the history of this area is still visible for all to see!
