2017 Map of Kantishna River B-5 NE

About this map

The eastern reaches of the Bitzshtini Mountains dominate this interior Alaska landscape, where steep ridgelines contrast with the lower, wetland-rich basins to the west. This 2017 U.S. Geological Survey topographic study documents the Public Land Survey System grid across portions of Townships 5 and 6 South, Ranges 22, 23, and 24 West. The terrain transitions from the high peaks of the Bitzshtini Mountains in the northeast corner down to an intricate network of unnamed ponds and drainage basins. This area reflects the remote character of the Yukon-Koyukuk region, where the absence of roads or established settlements emphasizes the natural topography of the Alaska interior. The map provides a detailed view of the contour intervals and hydrographic patterns essential for understanding the physical geography of this subarctic wilderness.
