1952 Map of Kantishna River C-4

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

The Chitanatala Mountains dominate the western landscape of this interior Alaskan wilderness, rising sharply above the expansive river drainage to the east. This 1952 topographic survey highlights the remote character of the territory before significant modern development, where transportation relied on a solitary Trail and a handful of remote Landing Strips. The Cosna River meanders through the eastern lowlands, creating a complex network of wetlands and small water bodies such as Bent Tree Lake. Survey markers like VABM 2486 Tan and VABM 1441 Zitz serve as primary navigation points in a region defined by high peaks like Lloyd Mountain. The map reveals a landscape where survival and movement were dictated by topography and seasonal water flow.
