1953 Map of Kantishna River A-6

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Sischu Mountains dominate the western landscape of this mid-century Alaskan interior survey, rising to the prominent peak of Sischu Mountain VABM 3510 (Camel). This area of the Yukon-Koyukuk region reflects a wilderness primarily defined by its drainage systems and high-altitude markers. The North Fork Kuskokwim River meanders through the southeastern portion of the quadrangle, while the Sethkokna River drains the northwestern corner, illustrating the complex hydrology of the subarctic basin. Surveyed via photogrammetric methods in the early 1950s, the map documents a land without roads or trails, where geographical reference points like VABM 2230 (Corner) and Sischu Creek served as the primary navigators for early geological and land management teams.
