1952 Map of Kantishna River B-1

About this map

The Toklat River winds through a complex network of wetlands and oxbow lakes before its confluence with the Kantishna River in this interior Alaska landscape. Surveyed in the early 1950s using aerial photography, the map reveals a wilderness dominated by meandering watercourses and floodplains. Human activity is sparse, centered primarily around the small settlement of Toklat and scattered Cabins located near the riverbanks. This document captures the hydrologic patterns of the region prior to any significant modern development, showing the natural shifts of the river channels across the low-lying terrain. For those studying the history of the Alaska Interior, the map provides precise locations for these seasonal or early permanent structures along the primary water travel routes.
