2019 Map of Bethel D-2 SW

About this map

The Salmon River flows through the southern portion of this landscape, carving a low-elevation corridor through the higher elevations of the Bethel Census Area. The terrain is defined by a series of branching drainages, including Wilhelmina Cr in the north and Fisher Cr which winds through the central and eastern sections. In the southeast corner, Cripple Cr joins the larger drainage network. This 2019 survey illustrates the intricate hydrography of the region as it existed in the early 21st century, showing how the natural flow of water dictates the topography in an area largely devoid of human-made infrastructure or established road networks. The map provides a clear look at the undeveloped watershed before any modern alterations or large-scale developments.
