2017 Map of Bethel A-5 NE

About this map

The Eek River carves a winding path through this corner of the Bethel Census Area, defining a landscape dominated by extensive wetlands and seasonal floodplains. This 2017 survey illustrates the complex hydrography of the Alaskan interior, where subtle elevation changes across T1n R65w and surrounding townships dictate the flow of water through an intricate network of unnamed ponds and marshes. The absence of roads or permanent settlements within these boundaries underscores the area's isolation and its reliance on the river as a primary natural corridor. Researchers can observe the interplay of township lines such as T2n R65w and T2n R66w against the irregular terrain, reflecting the systematic mapping of a region largely shaped by the forces of the Bering Sea lowlands.
