2017 Map of Bethel D-7 NE

About this map

Akiachak is the focal point of this survey, situated on the north bank of the Kuskokwim River in the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta. The map reveals the intricate water-and-land relationship of this riverine environment, where the braided channels of the Kuskokwim separate large landmasses like Kiktak Island from the mainland. The village layout is modest, centered around Main Street, with the Akiachak Airport serving as a vital connection point to the larger region. To the northwest, the Akiachak Historic Cem provides a point of genealogical and historical interest. Beyond the settlement, the landscape is defined by the Gweek River and a dense network of unnamed lakes and ponds, illustrating the complex hydrology of the Alaskan interior before modern development shifted the natural course of these waterways.
