1954 Map of Kantishna River D-1

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

The Tanana River dominates this mid-century Alaskan landscape, its braided channels and shifting sandbars creating a complex hydrologic network through the Yukon-Koyukuk region. Large river features such as Jennie M Island and Junction Island are prominent within the flow, while the northern bank is defined by the steep elevation of Giroux Bluff. Evidence of seasonal overland travel is visible in the form of a Sled Road that traverses the northern terrain, connecting various points of interest along the water. The confluence of the Zitziana River and Baker Creek with the main channel further illustrates the river-dependent geography of the era. A solitary Cabin located downstream suggests the sparse, localized settlement pattern typical of the interior during the 1950s, where movement relied heavily on these waterway corridors and winter trails.
