1956 Map of Tanana D-3

About this map

Kilo Hot Spring serves as a rare geothermal landmark within this interior Alaskan landscape, situated near the confluence of several significant drainage systems. The hydrography is dominated by the Kanuti Kilolitna River and the Kanuti River, which wind through a complex system of marshes and low-lying wetlands. Smaller tributaries like Torment Creek and Ishtafitna Creek feed into these larger arteries, illustrating the seasonal water movement through the Yukon-Koyukuk region. In the eastern portion of the survey, Allard Creek and Ray River define the local topography, while Hala Creek flows through the southeastern corner. This mid-century survey documents the area before significant modern alterations, showing a landscape defined entirely by its natural waterways and thermal features.
