2017 Map of Bethel D-5 NW

About this map

Unbound wetlands and countless small water bodies dominate this portion of the Bethel Census Area, illustrating the complex hydrology of the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta. This 2017 survey shows a landscape defined entirely by its natural hydrography, lacking the roads or settlements typically found in more developed regions. The map provides a detailed view of the Public Land Survey System grid, including boundaries for T11n R65w, T11n R64w, and T10n R65w. Without named human landmarks, the sheet serves as a primary record of the shifting shorelines and interconnected ponds that characterize this subarctic environment. It is a specialized resource for understanding the intricate drainage patterns in areas like T10n R64w and T9n R65w where the land and water are inextricably linked.
