2017 Map of Kantishna River A-2 SE

About this map

The Kantishna River meanders through a low-lying interior landscape defined by water and wetlands in this 2017 survey of the Denali region. This portion of the Alaska interior is shaped by the confluence and crossing of major waterways, where the Bearpaw River joins the larger drainage system. The intricate network of seasonal ponds and established water bodies, including the Alma Lakes in the south-central portion of the map, illustrates a dynamic hydrological environment where river channels shift over time. North of these lakes, Chitsia Cr flows through the northeast, cutting across township lines that divide this wilderness. The absence of permanent roads or settlements in this particular quadrangle underscores the isolation of the Tanana Valley watershed, where the natural movement of the rivers remains the primary geographic influence.
