2017 Map of Bethel B-5 NE

About this map

Akulikukak River winds through the interior landscape of the Bethel Census Area, forming a complex drainage pattern across this subarctic terrain. The 2017 survey reveals an environment defined by water and elevation, where the Little Kasigluk River courses through the northern reaches of the quadrangle. The lack of roads or established settlements on the sheet reflects the preservation of a traditional natural landscape within the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta region. The map’s detailed contour work documents a series of unnamed topographic rises and hills that punctuate the low-lying wetlands, illustrating the subtle but vital geographical features that define navigation and subsistence patterns in this part of Alaska.
