1952 Map of Kantishna River D-5

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Chitanana River dominates the southeastern corner of this Alaskan interior landscape, its winding course threading through a vast network of wetlands and small lakes. Surveyed in the early 1950s using aerial photography, the map reveals a wilderness dominated by intricate hydrology and elevation contouring rather than human development. In the northern reaches, Boney Creek flows through the Tanana valley, carving through terrain marked by numerous unnamed ponds and subtle topographical rises. This sheet captures a specific moment in the mapping of the Alaska-Fourth Judicial Division, where the absence of roads or trails highlights the significance of these natural waterways as the primary landmarks for navigation and travel across the permafrost-rich terrain.
