The Kealavik River meanders across a landscape defined by an intricate network of wetlands and thaw lakes in this remote region of the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta. Captured in 2020, this terrain shows the characteristic pingo formations and hydrologic complexity of the Alaskan tundra, notably around Pingo Lake. The sheet documents the jurisdictional boundary between the Kusilvak Census Area and the Bethel Census Area, a division that reflects the vast, sparsely populated administrative stretches of Western Alaska. This survey provides a precise modern baseline for studying the shifting water bodies and drainage patterns of the delta, where land and water are constantly in flux due to seasonal cycles and permafrost conditions.
