2017 Map of Kantishna River C-2 NE

About this map

Glacial-carved lowlands and meandering watercourses dominate this interior Alaskan landscape, documented through the T2s R15w and T2s R16w townships. The map is defined by a intricate network of ponds, marshes, and seasonal wetlands that dictate the movement of water across the North American Vertical Datum of 1988. While modern mapping technology from the U.S. Geological Survey has refined the elevation data, the region remains largely primitive, lacking named settlements or roads. The complex hydrography reflects the natural drainage patterns of the unorganized borough, providing a clear record of the area's topographical state in the early twenty-first century. These surveys, including T3s R15w and T3s R16w, are essential for understanding the raw physical geography of this subarctic environment before any significant human alteration.
