1952 Map of Kantishna River A-5

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

North Fork Kuskokwim River defines the western reaches of this interior Alaskan landscape, meandering through a complex network of wetlands and small ponds. The terrain is characterized by low-lying drainages that contrast sharply with the prominent elevation of Haystack Mountain in the central portion of the quadrangle. These topographic data were captured via photogrammetric methods from aerial photography taken in 1952, revealing an area devoid of established roads or trails during the mid-twentieth century. The land lines depicted on the sheet represent unsurveyed locations predetermined by the Bureau of Land Management, reflecting the remote nature of the territory north of the Alaska Range. Researchers and geographers can trace the intricate hydrology of the Kuskokwim watershed and the specific elevation points that stand as solitary landmarks in this unpopulated wilderness.
