2017 Map of Baird Inlet B-2 NE

About this map

The Kialik River meanders across a landscape defined by expansive wetlands and complex hydrological networks in this 2017 survey of the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta region. Flowing primarily through the central and western portions of the quadrangle, the river's path is characterized by tight oxbow loops and interconnected seasonal channels. Near the southeastern corner, the massive Kuskokwim River makes a brief appearance, anchoring the aquatic geography of the area. The map illustrates a wilderness dominated by water, where land is segmented into a mosaic of small lakes and ponds, typical of the Bethel Census Area's alluvial plains. This environment highlights a traditional landscape where travel and survival were historically dictated by the seasonal shifts of these major waterways.
