2017 Map of Bethel D-4 NW

About this map

The Tuluksak River winds across this Alaskan landscape, defining the northern and central reaches of the Bethel Census Area in the late 2010s. This survey, conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey, illustrates a vast network of water bodies and wetlands characteristic of the region's low-lying terrain. The drainage systems of Otter Cr and the Fog River dominate the southern half of the map, revealing the intricate hydrological patterns of the tundra. The absence of roads or permanent settlements within these townships emphasizes the wilderness character of the territory during this period of the twenty-first century. These watercourses serve as the primary geographic landmarks, providing essential context for researchers and land managers documenting the environmental history of the Kuskokwim River drainage basin.
