2017 Map of Kantishna River D-1 SE

About this map

The Tanana River dominates this interior Alaska landscape, weaving through a complex network of braids and bars that define the Yukon-Koyukuk region. This 2017 topographic study highlights the shifting nature of the river corridor, where water levels dictate the visibility of numerous islands and gravel deposits. In the southern portion of the sheet, the quiet waters of Iksgiza Lake sit amidst a low-lying wetland environment, contrasting with the more dynamic fluvial systems to the north. The area is divided by the Public Land Survey System boundaries of t1s r13w, t1n r13w, and t2s r13w, illustrating how modern administrative grids are imposed upon a wilderness defined primarily by its hydrology and topographic relief.
