2019 Map of Bethel C-3 SE

About this map

The Kilbuck Mountains dominate this high-elevation interior landscape within the Bethel Census Area. The terrain is defined by complex contour patterns that represent the various ridges and peaks of the range, notably where the Salmon River flows southward through the northern sections of the quadrangle. In the southeastern corner, the headwaters of Quicksilver Creek emerge from the steep slopes, illustrating the drainage patterns of this subarctic environment. Unlike more developed regions, this area is characterized by an absence of roads and permanent settlements, highlighting the wilderness character of the Alaska interior during the early twenty-first century. The map serves as a primary record of the topographic relief and hydrography for an area defined by its natural features rather than human infrastructure.
