2024 Map of Kantishna River A-1 SE

About this map

The Kantishna Hills rise above a landscape defined by the shifting braids of the Toklat River in this survey of the Denali region. This portion of the Alaska interior is characterized by the convergence of glacial meltwater and complex wetland systems, where Clear Creek meanders through the expansive flats before joining the larger river system. The map provides a detailed view of the terrain as it existed in the early 21st century, revealing the natural drainage patterns and topographical contours that have historically dictated travel and seasonal land use in this part of the borough. The absence of permanent roads or settlements highlights the wilderness character of the area, making the map a essential reference for understanding the hydrological and geological structure of the Toklat River valley.
