1952 Map of Kantishna River D-6

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Boney Creek meanders through this interior Alaskan landscape, defining the local drainage patterns across a complex network of wetlands and small lakes. Recorded through aerial photography in the early 1950s, the terrain shows a vast, undeveloped expanse of the Fairbanks Meridian, where the Base Line serves as a primary surveying marker. The map illustrates the characteristic swampy lowlands of the Yukon-Koyukuk region, punctuated by the winding course of Little Bear Creek. This survey reflects the systematic effort by the Bureau of Land Management and Geological Survey to chart the remote interior without field-checking every acre, relying instead on photogrammetric methods to capture the intricate hydrography and elevation contours of the territory.
