1954 Map of Bethel C-6

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The Kushluk River meanders across this mid-century Alaskan landscape, defining a region characterized by a complex network of thousands of small tundra ponds and interconnected waterways. The most prominent topographical landmark is Three Step Mountain, rising above the low-lying wetlands with its distinct peak named Della. This 1954 survey, edited by the Geological Survey, provides an unvarnished look at the intricate hydrology of the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta region. The Kwethluk River and Akalikutak River thread through the terrain, illustrating the natural drainage patterns before modern infrastructure. Mapping here relied on 1957 aerial photography and 1954 field annotations, reflecting a period when the Bureau of Land Management was predetermining land lines for unsurveyed territory.
