2017 Map of Kantishna River D-5 SW

About this map

The interior landscape of the Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area is meticulously documented in this 2017 study of the Kantishna River D-5 SW region. This specific quadrangle is dominated by an intricate network of wetlands and small water bodies that characterize the subarctic terrain. The mapping primarily illustrates the Public Land Survey System divisions, including T1n R24w and T1s R24w, providing a clear grid for understanding land tenure in this undeveloped stretch of Alaska. The absence of named settlements or roads underscores the wilderness character of the region, where the topography is defined more by the drainage patterns of unnamed creeks and ponds than by human infrastructure. This detailed survey, utilizing data from the Alaska Dept. of Transportation and the FWS National Wetlands Inventory, serves as a high-resolution baseline for the hydrologic and topographic state of the area in the early 21st century.
