1952 Map of Kantishna River A-5

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Haystack Mountain rises as a central landmark in this 1952 topographic study of the Alaska interior. The landscape is defined by the meandering course of the North Fork Kuskokwim River, which winds through the northwestern corner of the quadrangle. This map portrays a wild and undeveloped expanse, where the terrain transitions from the low-lying wetlands and complex oxbows of the river valley to the higher elevations of the surrounding ridges. The detailed surveying of swamplands and elevation contours reveals a territory shaped entirely by its natural hydrology and geomorphology, recorded just as photogrammetric mapping was beginning to document these remote reaches in the mid-20th century.
