2017 Map of Kantishna River D-2 NE

About this map

Manley Hot Springs serves as the focal point of this Alaskan interior landscape, situated near the confluence of Hot Springs Slough and the Tanana River. The settlement pattern is defined by its proximity to geothermal waters and the vital transport artery of the river system. To the north, the terrain rises sharply into higher elevations where McCloud Ranch Cr drains toward the lowlands. The arrival of the Elliott Highway and the Manley Hot Springs Airport with its Airfield Access road signifies the transition from traditional river-based movement to modern overland and aerial connectivity. This map documents the intricate wetland networks south of the main river channel, where the Zitziana River meanders through a vast complex of ponds and drainage basins typical of the Yukon-Koyukuk region.
