1953 Map of Kantishna River D-4

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The Tanana River anchors this interior landscape as it winds through the northeast corner, featuring the prominent Harper Bend and Murray I. This 1950s survey, updated with minor revisions in 1965, illustrates a complex aqueous environment dominated by the meandering path of the Chitanana River. The terrain is marked by essential geodetic markers of the era, such as VABM 512 Harper and VABM 966 Nana, which served as critical points for aerial photogrammetric mapping. Further south, the Cosna River drains toward the larger river systems, while the surveyed Base Line cuts a straight path across the wilderness, providing the structural foundation for the township and range grid in this remote Alaskian interior.
