2020 Map of Baird Inlet D-4 SW

About this map

Kagaluk Lake dominates the upper half of this coastal Alaskan landscape, situated within a complex network of wetlands and tundra in the Bethel Census Area. The terrain is defined by a low-lying aquatic environment where water bodies and land intermix with minimal elevation change. To the south, the waters of Baird Inlet enter the frame, marking a transition toward the larger estuarine systems of the region. This 2020 survey, produced by the U.S. Geological Survey, reflects a wilderness largely devoid of permanent human infrastructure or roads, emphasizing the natural hydrography of the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta. The map provides a detailed view of the intricate shoreline and small seasonal ponds that characterize this specific portion of the Baird Inlet D-4 SW quadrangle.
