Deadhorse consists mainly of facilities to house the workers from the companies that operate the Prudhoe Bay oil fields. 495 miles from Fairbanks trucks carry the supplies needed during the winter months using the Haul Road. The facility was built on man-made gravel pads.
The story behind the name is a long one, but basically, a gravel company, called Dead Horse Haulers, the company that hauled most of the gravel for those gravel pads, was so familiar to residents and non-residents alike, they used the name until it became the known name. Despite the best efforts of Prudhoe Bay - Deadhorse was the name that appeared in the official zip code directory. You can read the full story HERE!
For Detective Quaid, in Murder & Obsession it's supposed to hold his alibi . . .

Murder & Obsession
Excerpt:
Helen inspected the main room, noting the items out of place, the fingerprint dust still clinging to most of the surfaces. Forensics had ruined Steven’s romantic honeymoon getaway. She wondered if Sarah had appreciated the trouble Steven had gone to in order to make his cabin hideaway comfortable, although Helen had always found the cabin cozy.
“Detective, it’s fresh.” Kelly handed her a cup of coffee.
“Thanks. Crazy night. Have you checked on Quaid’s alibi?”
“I’m leaving for Deadhorse now. I can’t reach anyone by phone or radio. I think it’s best if I just drive. What do you think?”
“Take George; he’s bored. I want official statements, so stay until you’ve talked to everyone. Keep in touch. Take the satellite phone. I have more equipment on the way.”
“Yes, sir.” Kelly saluted and hurried out the door; Helen couldn’t help but wonder if he was glad to be free of her sour attitude. The cold had turned her temperament to ice, and she saw her own anxiety reflected on the faces of her team.
