About this map

Kutukhun River meanders across this vast expanse of the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta, defining the primary drainage pattern of a landscape dominated by complex wetlands. Located in the Bethel Census Area, this 2017 study illustrates a region where land and water are inextricably linked, characterized by countless small ponds and saturated terrain. The survey covers several townships, including t8n r77w, t7n r77w, and t6n r77w, providing a precise record of the river's course through these remote reaches of western Alaska. Researchers can observe the natural hydrology of the delta before potential shifts in the permafrost or drainage patterns alter the character of this aquatic environment.
