2017 Map of Baird Inlet A-1 NW

About this map

The Kuskokwim River delta dominates this portion of the Bethel Census Area, where a complex network of waterways defines the low-lying coastal landscape. Large hydrological features like the Eek River and the Eenayarak River meander through the marshy terrain, showcasing the intricate drainage patterns of the Alaskan tundra. Landforms such as Eek Island and the prominent Eek Point serve as primary navigational landmarks in a region largely defined by its shifting aquatic boundaries rather than permanent roads or settlements. This 2017 survey reflects the area's ongoing reliance on its river systems for connectivity, with the Public Land Survey System boundaries for t2n r75w and t1n r74w providing the only formal human-imposed structure over the natural floodplain.
