1952 Map of Kantishna River C-5

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

The Chitanana River dominates this mid-century Alaskan landscape, winding through a complex network of wetlands and low-relief terrain. Surveyed primarily through photogrammetric methods from 1952 aerial photography, the map reveals a wilderness where water defines the passage of travel and the placement of high points. The eastern portion of the quadrangle rises sharply into the Chitanana Mountains, providing a stark topographic contrast to the swampy flats of the west. Notable landmarks include Redlands Lake and the geodetic control point VABM Cosna 2410, which sits as a prominent summit in the southern range. This survey captures the region in a period of remote transition, where the interior remains largely inaccessible except by the river corridors and seasonal waterways that thread through the Chitanana valley.
