2017 Map of Bethel B-8 NE

About this map

Eekaqurak River meanders through this vast, water-heavy landscape in the Bethel Census Area, defining a terrain dominated by wetlands and intricate hydrologic networks. The dominance of Eek Lake in the northern portion of the quadrangle highlights the characteristic topography of the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta, where low-lying tundra is interspersed with numerous unnamed ponds and glacial features. While the map is largely devoid of permanent human settlements, it serves as a critical document of the natural drainage patterns and township boundaries of the early twenty-first century, including t5n r71w and t4n r71w. This survey is particularly useful for understanding the complex interaction between seasonal waterways and the stable features that guide movement through this remote Alaskan environment.
