1952 Map of Kantishna River A-1

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Nineteenmile (Aband) sits as a quiet, deserted outpost in this mid-century topographic record of the Fourth Judicial Division. This landscape is defined by the braided channels of the Toklat River in the east and the winding course of Chilsia Creek in the southwest. The presence of a Sled Road cutting across the terrain toward the abandoned settlement speaks to the seasonal transportation methods essential for navigating this interior Alaskan wilderness before modern infrastructure. The map illustrates a transitional geography where high ridges give way to expansive marshlands and numerous unnamed ponds, reflecting the complex drainage patterns of the Kantishna River basin during the 1950s.
