1953 Map of Kantishna River C-2

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The Zitziana River winds through this interior Alaskan landscape, documented during a mid-century period when much of the territory remained unsurveyed on the ground. Compiled from 1952 aerial photography and 1953 field annotations, the map reveals a vast network of unnamed lakes and wetlands typical of the Yukon-Koyukuk region. The water-dominated terrain is punctuated by significant hydrological features like Dry Creek and topographical markers such as VABM 1364 Toklat. These land lines were predetermined by the Bureau of Land Management for areas that were yet to be physically marked, providing a look at the early administrative organization of the Alaskan wilderness before more modern infrastructure or settlement patterns reached this specific reach of the river system.
