1952 Map of Kantishna River A-3
USGS Topo · Published 1956About this map
The Kantishna River winds through this interior Alaskan landscape, defining the southeastern corridor of a region dominated by intricate wetlands and significant elevations. Surveyed in the early 1950s, the terrain transitions from the low-lying basin of John Hansen Creek to the prominent heights of Bearpaw Mountain and the geodetic marker at VABM Roosevelt. Numerous unnamed ponds and lakes dot the valley floor, with Square Lake and Jeannes Lake serving as primary landmarks for navigating this wilderness. The map provides a detailed view of the natural drainage patterns and topographical contours before any modern infrastructure altered the area, preserving the state of the Tanana Valley's western reaches as they appeared during mid-century aerial surveys.
