1954 Map of Bethel D-8

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Bethel serves as the focal point of this mid-century survey, situated along the complex hydrology of the Kuskokwim River. The landscape is dominated by a dense network of water features, including Steamboat Slough, Church Slough, and the large Tidal Flat areas that define the river's path. This period represents a significant era of infrastructure development for the region, evidenced by the proximity of the Bethel Airforce Station, the Bethel Municipal Airport, and a Heliport. Small local landmarks such as Nighead and Hangar Lake provide specific geographic markers within the tundra. The mapping detail shows the intricate relationship between the settlement and its waterways, where labels like Tubungaluk Creek and Tupuknuk illustrate the indigenous and maritime character of this Southwestern Alaska hub.
