1953 Map of Kantishna River B-2

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The Kantishna River dominates the southeastern quadrant of this Interior Alaska landscape, winding through a complex network of wetlands and oxbow lakes. This 1953 field-annotated survey reveals a wilderness defined by its waterways, where the meandering river contrasts with the more stable upland terrain to the north and west. At the center of the sheet, the prominent basins of West Twin Lake and East Twin Lake serve as major landmarks amidst the lower-elevation drainage systems. A lone Cabin situated near the river's bend provides a rare sign of human presence in this remote territory. The drainage pattern is further defined by seasonal or smaller flows including Lynx Creek and Dry Creek, illustrating the transition from the high-ground interior to the broad alluvial plains of the Kantishna basin.
