2024 Map of Kantishna River A-2 SW

About this map

Kantishna River meanders through a vast network of wetlands and alluvial flats in this remote portion of Denali Borough. The waterway dominates the central and southern reaches of the quadrangle, characterized by intricate oxbows and shifting channels that define the interior Alaskan landscape. To the northwest, the terrain rises toward Bearpaw Mtn, providing a distinct topographical contrast to the saturated lowlands below. The Bearpaw River enters from the southeast, its course weaving through the damp subarctic tundra before approaching the larger Kantishna drainage. This document captures the wilderness in its modern state, reflecting the persistent hydrography of the Tanana Valley region where seasonal water movement remains the primary sculptor of the land.
