1953 Map of Kantishna River B-3

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Wien Lake dominates the central portion of this 1950s landscape, serving as a primary landmark in a region defined by complex aquatic networks. The map documents an unsurveyed wilderness within the Fairbanks Meridian, where the Zitziana River and John Hansen Creek navigate through extensive wetlands and varying elevations. A single Cabin on the northern shore of the lake suggests the minimal human footprint during this era, likely representing a site for trapping or subsistence activities. Based on aerial photography from 1952, the topography illustrates a transition from low-relief swamps to upland terrain, providing a detailed look at the drainage patterns before any modern development or infrastructure reached this part of the Alaska interior.
