1952 Map of Kantishna River B-6

About this map

The Titna River meanders across this interior Alaskan landscape, defining a complex system of oxbows and marshy lowlands in the central portion of the quadrangle. In the south, the Sethkokna River flows through a similar network of wetlands and small ponds, joined by the headwaters of Baker Creek. This 1952 record, based on aerial photography from the same year, documents a wilderness area defined by significant relief and survey markers including VABM 2341 Lawson and VABM 602 Seth. The lack of established roads or trails during this mid-century period emphasizes the reliance on these waterways for navigation through the dense topographical contours of the Alaska-Fourth Judicial Division.
