2017 Map of Bethel A-6 SE

About this map

Great Ridge anchors the southeastern corner of this region, providing the primary topographic relief in a landscape otherwise defined by intricate wetland systems. Surveyed for the Bethel area in 2017, the map reveals the complex hydrography of the Alaskan wilderness, where elevation contours at 40-foot intervals delineate the rising slopes of the ridge against the surrounding low-lying basins. The cartography emphasizes the Public Land Survey System grid, specifically marking the boundaries of t1s r69w, t1s r68w, t2s r69w, and t2s r68w. This layout illustrates how large-scale township and range divisions were applied to remote Alaskan territories, serving as a foundational reference for land management and geographic orientation in an area largely devoid of man-made infrastructure or established road networks.
