1952 Map of Kantishna River C-5

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The Chitanana River defines the western reaches of this subarctic landscape, winding through a complex network of wetlands and oxbow lakes as it flows toward the Tanana River basin. Based on 1952 aerial photography, the terrain is dominated by the sprawling Chitanana Hills in the southeast, where elevations rise sharply above the saturated lowlands. A prominent landmark within this wilderness is Redlands Lake, which sits tucked into a transition zone between the river flats and the rising foothills. The map reveals an untouched interior during the mid-twentieth century, showing no roads, trails, or permanent settlements, preserving a record of the hydrological patterns and topographic relief of this part of the Yukon-Koyukuk region before any modern industrial or recreational encroachment occurred.
