2020 Map of Marshall A-6 NE

About this map

The vast wetlands of southwestern Alaska are the focus of this contemporary study, primarily defined by the aquatic expanse of Aropuk Lake in the southern portion of the quadrangle. Located along the administrative boundary between the Bethel Census Area and the Kusilvak Census Area, the landscape is characterized by an intricate network of unnamed ponds, sloughs, and marshes typical of the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta region. The map provides a precise look at the hydrology and terrain as it appeared in the early 21st century, documented by the U.S. Geological Survey using modern digital imagery. The absence of permanent roads or settlements highlights the wilderness character of the territory, where geographical markers are dictated by the shifting shapes of water bodies and township and range lines.
