1953 Map of Kantishna River A-1

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Toklat River winds through the eastern edge of this Alaskan interior landscape, a region defined by extensive marshes and complex drainage systems during the early 1950s. The presence of a Sled Road cutting across the terrain highlights the seasonal transportation methods essential to this subarctic environment before modern infrastructure. Central to the map is the site of Nineteenmile, marked as an abandoned settlement, which suggests the transient nature of early twentieth-century habitations in the Tanana Valley area. Fed by smaller tributaries like Clear Creek and Chitsia Creek, the landscape is a mosaic of swamps and lakes, reflecting a wild terrain that remained largely unsurveyed on the ground at the time of mapping.
