2017 Map of Bethel C-4 SW

About this map

Spein Mtn dominates the northern landscape of this Bethel Census Area quadrant, its high elevations rising sharply between the river drainage systems of the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta region. The Kasigluk River winds through the southwestern and central portions of the sheet, characterized by the complex, meandering patterns typical of Alaskan glacial-fed rivers. To the east, the Kisaralik River enters the frame, joined by the smaller Quartz Cr as they cut through the shifting alluvial plains. The terrain here is defined by these watercourses and the relief of the Kilbuck Mountains, illustrating the remote and rugged interior of Southwest Alaska as it was documented in 2017. This survey provides a precise record of the hydrography and elevation before any significant modern shifts in these sensitive river channels.
