1954 Map of Bethel D-5

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The Kisaralik River and Kasigluk River snake through this corner of the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta, defining a landscape of saturated wetlands and countless unnamed tundra ponds. Mapped by the Army Map Service using aerial photography from the mid-1950s, the terrain shows the intricate drainage patterns of the Alaskan interior before modern development. In the northeast, the Tuluksak River flows toward the Kuskokwim, while a marked Winter Trail provides a rare terrestrial landmark across the frozen or boggy ground. This survey reflects the complex hydrology of the region, where seasonal water levels dictate travel and subsistence patterns for the local communities.
