2020 Map of Baird Inlet D-3 SW

About this map

Glacial lakes and intricate wetlands dominate this 2020 topographic survey of the Baird Inlet region in the Bethel Census Area. The landscape is defined by a dense mosaic of unnamed water bodies and saturated terrain within the Public Land Survey System grids of T9n R78w and T9n R77w. This environment is a prime example of the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta's complex hydrology, where low-lying tundra creates a labyrinthine network of pools and marshland. The lack of named settlements or infrastructure highlights the isolation of this corner of Alaska, managed across the boundaries of T8n R79w and T8n R78w. For researchers, the map provides a precise high-resolution look at shoreline morphology and elevation changes in a region where water and land are perpetually shifting.
