2017 Map of Kantishna River C-4 NW

About this map

The Chitanatala Mountains dominate this high-latitude terrain, showcasing the complex topographic character of the Alaska interior. This landscape is defined by dramatic elevation changes and the high peaks of the western range, including the prominent Lloyd Mtn. The presence of the Alt Z Airport in the southeastern quadrant suggests a vital point of aerial access in an area otherwise devoid of established roads or permanent settlements. Mapped using data from the National Hydrography Dataset and the National Elevation Dataset, the sheet provides a technical look at the drainage patterns and ridgelines that characterize this portion of the Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area. The grid of the Public Land Survey System, including portions of t2s r22w and t3s r21w, overlays the natural features, illustrating the administrative framework applied to this wilderness environment.
