2017 Map of Kantishna River B-1 NW

About this map

Kantishna River meanders across this vast interior landscape, defining a complex network of wetlands and oxbows within the Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area. This remote region, characterized by the convergence of major glacial and tundra-fed waterways, features the northern reaches of the Toklat River as it joins the primary drainage. The small settlement of Toklat serves as the lone named point of human habitation in this wilderness, situated along the riverbank near where Clear Cr enters the system. The map provides a detailed view of the shifting alluvial plains and the dense concentration of small ponds and marshes that dictate movement through this subarctic environment. Topographic contours reveal the subtle elevation changes of the river valley, set against the broader backdrop of the Alaskan interior as it appeared in the early 21st century.
