2017 Map of Bethel D-6 NE

About this map

The low-lying wetlands of the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta are meticulously documented in this 2017 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey. This landscape is defined by an intricate network of unnamed lakes and meandering water channels typical of the Bethel Census Area, illustrating a terrain where water and land are in constant flux. The map provides a critical look at the Public Land Survey System grid, specifically identifying T11n R66w, T10n R66w, and surrounding townships. For researchers of Alaskan geography, the lack of named man-made structures or settlements highlights the isolation of this region. The detail provided focuses on the natural hydrography and elevation contours, which reveal the subtle topography of a region dominated by glacial and alluvial processes.
