1956 Map of Tanana D-3

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The Kanuti Kilolitna River dominates this interior Alaska landscape as it was documented in the mid-1950s, weaving through a wilderness defined by its drainage basins and isolated thermal activity. A standout geographical feature is the Kilo Hot Spring, located in the central portion of the map where the river valley narrows. This 1956 survey, based on aerial photography from 1953, illustrates a pristine subarctic environment largely untouched by permanent settlement or infrastructure, as indicated by the note that no roads or trails existed in the area at the time of mapping. Hydrological patterns are the primary focus, with the Torment Creek and Ishtalitna Creek feeding into the main valley from the west, while the Ray River and Halu Creek mark the eastern reaches. The lack of cultural features emphasizes the territory's character as a remote wilderness during the mid-twentieth century.
