1954 Map of Bethel D-4

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The Tuluksak River and its meandering tributaries dominate this mid-century topographic study of the Alaskan interior near Bethel. Based on aerial photography from 1955 and 1957, the map documents a transition between low-lying wetlands and the rising foothills to the east. Seasonal movement through this landscape is marked by a Winter Trail (Approximate) and a more established Winter Trail in the northern section, providing essential connections before the widespread adoption of modern infrastructure. This region, charted by the Army Map Service, highlights the complex hydrology of the Otter Creek and Fog River drainages, while the Kisaralik River cuts across the southwestern corner. The mapping of these unsurveyed lands provides a detailed look at the water-bound geography of the Seward Meridian during a period of active aerial surveying.
