1952 Map of Kantishna River

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Manley Hot Springs serves as a key landmark in this interior Alaskan landscape, situated near the confluence where the Tanana River meets the winding Kantishna River. The terrain is defined by the convergence of the Kuskokwim Mountains, containing summits like Haystack Mountain, and the Bitzshtini Mountains. This 1952 survey documents a transitional period in the Alaskan interior, showing a sparse network of human activity connected by a Sled Road and river landings. Several locations are noted as having passed their peak utility, including the sites at Nineteenmile and Teklan. The intricate water systems, from Wien Lake to the complex sloughs like Patterson Slough, illustrate the importance of these waterways for navigation and survival in the Fourth Judicial Division. Isolated Cabins scattered along the banks of the Zitziana River and Cosna River further emphasize the remote nature of the region's trapping and prospecting history.
