1979 Map of Bethel C-2

About this map

Salmon River and the Kipchuk River flow through this remote portion of Southwest Alaska, defining a landscape dominated by a network of drainage basins. This 1970s topographic study captures the area's hydrology in detail, showing how Porcupine Creek and Cripple Creek carve through the high ground. The terrain is marked by significant elevations including Mount Romig and a feature simply labeled Dome. The absence of roads or permanent settlements in this quadrangle reflects the wilderness character of the region during this era. Numerous smaller waterways such as Bulldog Creek, Quicksilver Creek, and Anvil Creek trace the valleys between unnamed ridges, providing a clear picture of the natural watershed before modern environmental shifts.
