2017 Map of Kantishna River C-5 SW

About this map

Chitanana River dominates the western portion of this topographic study, meandering through the interior of the Yukon-Koyukuk region. The landscape is characterized by its isolation and lack of human infrastructure, defined instead by the Public Land Survey System grids of t3s r25w, t3s r24w, and t4s r24w. The map reveals a transition from the lower riparian corridors along the river to the higher elevation contours in the eastern sections of the quadrangle. These topographical variations provide insight into the drainage patterns of the Alaskan wilderness, where the river serves as the primary geographical anchor for the surrounding township and range divisions. This 2017 edition reflects the state of the terrain as recorded by the U.S. Geological Survey using data from the early 21st century.
