1952 Map of Kantishna River D-3

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

The confluence of the Tanana River and Cosna River anchors this mid-century topographic study, revealing a complex landscape of shifting waterways and remote outposts. The interior Alaskan terrain is defined by the prominent Bean Ridge rising to the north and the isolated peak of Mooseheart Mtn in the south. Along the riverbanks, small signs of human activity appear at Cosna and Cos Jacket, indicating the transient nature of riverside life in this region. Numerous braided channels and sloughs, including Williams Slough and Cosna Slough, wind around large river features like Vachon Island. The map also captures the Fairbanks Base Line as it intersects the Cosna Bluff, providing a glimpse into the surveying infrastructure used to map this largely roadless territory during the early 1950s.
