1979 Map of Bethel A-3

About this map

The Kwethuluk River and its intricate network of tributaries define this Alaskan landscape in the late 1970s. This survey records a wilderness shaped by water, where the Eek River cuts across the southern reach and various drainages like Willow Creek and Crooked Creek move through the high ground. A notable point of human activity is the Canyon Creek Landing Strip, located near the confluence of Canyon Creek and Bear Creek. The map provides a detailed view of the terrain before more modern developments, preserving the original nomenclature of local features such as Rich Gulch, Polar Creek, and Little Swift Creek. For those tracing the geography of the Bethel region, the sheet illustrates the transition from the upland basins of Slate Creek to the expansive wetlands and braided channels that dominate the lower elevations.
