2017 Map of Kantishna River C-1 SE

About this map

Kantishna River dominates this interior Alaska landscape, winding through a complex network of oxbow lakes and abandoned channels that characterize the region's low-lying drainage patterns. This 2017 survey shows the river's highly serpentine path as it moves across the t4s r13w and t5s r13w townships within the Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area. The lack of infrastructure or named settlements highlights the natural isolation of this territory, where the only other distinct waterway noted is the tributary Dry Cr. The map's contour lines and wetland indicators provide a fine-grained view of the subtle elevation changes that dictate the shifting course of the river over time.
