2019 Map of Bethel B-2 SW

About this map

Kisaralik River meanders through the northern reaches of this landscape, marking a significant drainage within the transition between the Bethel Census Area and the Dillingham Census Area. The terrain is defined by its complex hydrology, where Akaswift Creek and the various branches of Swift Cr carve through high-elevation contour lines that indicate substantial relief across the southwestern portion of the Bethel quadrangle. This 2019 survey captures the wilderness character of the region before any established road infrastructure, highlighting the natural watercourses that have historically dictated movement and subsistence in this part of Alaska. The boundary between the two census areas is a primary geographic feature, bisecting the eastern portion of the sheet and providing a reference point for local jurisdictional history and land management.
