1952 Map of Kantishna River B-5

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

The North Fork Kuskokwim River meanders across the southern landscape of this interior Alaskan territory, defining a broad valley floor characterized by extensive wetlands and complex drainage patterns. Surveyed via aerial photography in the early 1950s, the terrain is bounded by significant uplands, including the Chitanatala Mountains to the northwest and the Bitzshtini Mountains along the eastern edge. This sheet captures a region entirely devoid of established roads or permanent settlements at the time of mapping, illustrating a pristine wilderness where topographical relief is the primary navigator. The intricate contouring reveals the transition from high mountain ridges to the low-lying basin of the North Fork Kuskokwim River, a critical waterway for this part of the Yukon-Koyukuk region.
