About this map

Dall Lake sits at the northern edge of this expansive aquatic landscape in the Bethel Census Area, where the boundary between land and water is perpetually fluid. This 2020 survey of the Baird Inlet region reveals an intricate network of unnamed ponds, sloughs, and wetlands that dominate the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta. The vast mosaic of small water bodies illustrates a landscape shaped by seasonal changes and alluvial processes, where dry ground is a rarity.

The map is defined by the Public Land Survey System grids of T2n R83w, T2n R82w, and the surrounding townships. These survey lines provide the only structural framework across a terrain otherwise devoid of named human settlements or infrastructure, highlighting the remote and undeveloped nature of this part of Alaska. For researchers, this document offers a precise record of the shoreline configurations and hydrological patterns as they existed in the early 21st century.
