About this map

The vast wetland expanse of the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta characterizes this remote interior region near T1n R81w and T1n R80w. Defined by an intricate and shifting network of lakes, ponds, and marshy terrain, the landscape is almost entirely dominated by water features typical of the Bethel Census Area. The lack of named settlements or transportation infrastructure highlights the isolation of this environment, which is primarily delineated by the Public Land Survey System boundaries of T2n R81w and T2n R80w.

This 2020 survey provides a detailed look at the hydrology of the Baird Inlet region, where the minimal relief and complex drainage patterns suggest a landscape shaped by seasonal flooding and permafrost dynamics. Researchers and those studying the natural history of the Alaska tundra can trace the specific township and range lines, such as T1s R82w, to orient themselves within this expansive wilderness.
