1952 Map of Kantishna River B-5

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

North Fork Kuskokwim River defines the southern landscape of this interior Alaskan wilderness, as seen in this 1952 aerial survey. The terrain is dominated by the high ground of Titna, where the Geological Survey utilized multiplex methods and 1954 topographic data to map the complex drainage patterns and elevation changes of the Alaska-Fourth Judicial Division. This map represents a strictly remote environment, devoid of roads, trails, or permanent settlements at the time of the survey. The intricate network of wetlands and small water bodies surrounding the river indicates a landscape heavily influenced by seasonal flooding and permafrost conditions common to the Yukon-Koyukuk region.
