1952 Map of Kantishna River D-5

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Chitanana River defines the southeastern corner of this landscape, winding through a vast system of wetlands and small interior lakes. The terrain is characterized by intricate drainage patterns and thousands of small water bodies, largely interpreted from 1952 aerial photography. These wetlands, surveyed in cooperation with the Bureau of Land Management, represent an unsurveyed wilderness where the Base Line serves as one of the few formal geographic markers. In the northern reaches, Boney Creek meanders through the lowlands, illustrating the complex hydrological network of the Yukon-Koyukuk region before significant modern alteration. The map reveals the raw, unsettled state of the Alaskan interior during the mid-twentieth century, dominated by marshland and unnamed tributaries.
