1953 Map of Kantishna River D-1

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The Tanana River dominates this interior Alaska landscape, carving a wide path through complex wetlands and river islands. Near the northwestern bend, the settlement of Baker and the prominent Giroux Bluff overlook the confluence with Baker Creek. This 1950s survey documents a wilderness environment where transportation relied heavily on seasonal routes like the Sled Road that parallels the river, essential for movement before modern infrastructure reached these reaches of the Yukon-Koyukuk region.
