2017 Map of Baird Inlet D-1 NW

About this map

The Pikmiktalik River meanders across this subarctic landscape within the Bethel Census Area, creating a complex network of wetlands and seasonal waterways. This 2017 survey reveals the intricate hydrography of the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta, where the river's path is defined by numerous oxbows and shifting channels. Dominating the western portion of the quadrangle is Nunavakanukakslak Lake, a significant water body in an area characterized by its lack of permanent road infrastructure. The map illustrates the Public Land Survey System divisions, including sections of t10n r74w and t10n r73w, which provide the primary spatial framework for this undeveloped wilderness. The terrain is remarkably flat, with most navigation and geography centered entirely on the interaction between the lakes and the sprawling river system.
