1952 Map of Kantishna River C-4
USGS Topo · Published 1974About this map
The Chata Natala Mountains dominate the northwestern portion of this 1950s interior landscape, providing a high-elevation backdrop to a complex network of wetlands and tundra. Mapped primarily from 1952 aerial photography, the sheet records an unsurveyed wilderness where the Cosna River meanders through the eastern lowlands. This survey preserves a specific moment in the mapping of the Fairbanks Meridian, when points like VABM Tan 2486 and VABM Zitz 1441 served as the primary geodetic anchors for a region still lacking any established road system. The lack of cultural features emphasizes the remote character of the Yukon-Koyukuk region before more modern infrastructure reached this part of the Alaskan interior.
