1954 Map of Kantishna River D-4
USGS Topo · Published 1956About this map
The Tanana River anchors the northeast corner of this 1950s landscape, where it interacts with a complex network of waterways including Harper Bend and Williams Slough. The topography is dominated by the winding course of the Chitanana River, which meanders across the central and southern portions of the territory before meeting the Cosna River. Surveyors in 1954 established several triangulation points across the high ground, notably VABM 966 Nana and VABM 512 Whisper. This survey captures a wild, unpopulated interior region of Alaska characterized by intricate oxbow lakes and sediment-heavy river braids, providing a clear record of the drainage patterns and landforms before more modern navigational or infrastructure changes.
