1953 Map of Kantishna River B-4

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

The Kuskokwim Mountains dominate this 1950s interior Alaskan landscape, providing a high-altitude study of a region defined entirely by its natural hydrology and relief. This sheet was compiled from aerial photography taken in 1952, capturing a moment when the territory remained largely devoid of permanent human infrastructure. The primary drainage of the North Fork Kuskokwim River winds through the southern portion of the quadrangle, while the Cosna River flows toward the north. The map illustrates the characteristic meandering patterns of these subarctic rivers as they cut through the dense contour lines of the mountains, a detail that remains critical for researchers studying historical geomorphology and the untouched wilderness of the Alaska-Fourth Judicial Division before modern development.
