2024 Map of Kantishna River A-3 SE

About this map

Kantishna River meanders through the heart of this interior Alaskan landscape, defining the transition between the Denali Borough and Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area. The hydrology is the primary feature of the terrain, with John Hansen Creek feeding into the substantial John Hansen Lake before joining the larger river system. This area, largely defined by its wetland patterns and drainage basins, is punctuated by the significant elevation of Bearpaw Mtn in the east. The land is organized by the Public Land Survey System, showing segments of Townships 9 and 10 South across Ranges 18 and 19 West. The map provides a detailed view of the natural watercourses and topographic shifts where the high ground of the mountain meets the vast drainage plains of the river valley.
