1954 Map of Bethel B-6

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

Kwethluk River dominates this portion of the Alaskan wilderness, carving a wide, serpentine path through the lowlands before meeting the complex drainage patterns of the Yukon Delta National Wildlife Refuge. The map reveals a transition from the dense network of wetlands and tundra ponds in the west to the rising terrain of the east, where Elbow Mountain stands as a prominent landmark. This topographic study captures the hydrological character of the region in the mid-1950s, a period when these lands were being meticulously documented by photogrammetric methods from aerial surveys. The inclusion of Coral Creek and various unnamed tributaries illustrates the seasonal water flow and intricate basin architecture that define this interior landscape. These features provide a baseline for understanding the river's historical meanders and the untouched state of the delta before later federal land conservation acts formally established its modern boundaries.
