1979 Map of Bethel A-2

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

The Kwethluk River winds through this unpopulated Alaskan interior, defining a landscape of complex hydrological patterns and upland peaks. Surveyed via aerial photography in the early 1970s, the terrain is dominated by the prominent elevation of Crooked Mountain and the expansive waters of Heart Lake. The mapping reveals a transition from the lower elevations near the river to the higher ridges and tributary networks in the north, where the drainage of Akoswift Creek and Little Swift Creek originates. This topographic study documents a wilderness devoid of roads or permanent settlements, emphasizing instead the natural landmarks and water systems like Gold Lake and the Milk Creek drainage that would serve as the primary navigational aids for local travel and resource management in this region of the Bethel quadrangle.
