1954 Map of Bethel B-5

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The Kwethluk River meanders through this Kuskokwim River delta landscape, revealing a complex hydrological network of tundra streams and seasonal wetlands. Mapped from 1957 aerial photography and field-annotated in 1954, this survey captures the interior wilderness before modern infrastructure reached the region. The glacial and alluvial history of the area is anchored by Elowaktak Mountain, a prominent landmark rising above the surrounding lowlands. Along with the Akulikutak River and Kasigluk R, these waterways represent the primary corridors for travel and traditional land use in the mid-20th century. The intricate drainage patterns of Johnson Creek and Coral Creek highlight the seasonal fluidity of this subarctic environment, offering researchers a baseline for studying geological and hydrological changes over several decades.
