About this map

Puk-Palik Lake serves as the primary named landmark in this expanse of the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta, situated within the Bethel Census Area. The landscape is defined by a dense network of wetlands and unnamed water bodies that dominate the survey area, illustrating the intricate hydrology of the Alaskan tundra. Mapping this region relies heavily on the Public Land Survey System grid, with the intersections of T12n R80w, T12n R79w, T11n R80w, and T11n R79w providing the essential structural framework for locating specific geographic points. The lack of established roads or named settlements emphasizes the character of this terrain as a seasonally shifting environment where water and permafrost dictate the topography. For researchers, Puk-Palik Lake represents one of the few stable geographic anchors in an otherwise fluid and unnamed wilderness.
