1952 Map of Kantishna River C-1

About this map

The Kantishna River meanders through this interior Alaskan landscape, creating a complex network of oxbow lakes and side channels. Surveyed in the early 1950s using photogrammetric methods, the terrain is defined by its water-rich lowlands, where Geskakmina Lake and Kindanina Lake sit among numerous unnamed ponds and wetlands. The intricate path of the river, with its frequent bends and historical shifts, suggests a highly dynamic fluvial environment where land and water constantly trade places.
