2018 Map of Marshall B-1 NE

About this map

The Reindeer River meanders across the northeast corner of this 2018 survey, defining a landscape dominated by the intricate wetlands and water bodies of the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta. This map documents a remote stretch of the Alaskan interior where the boundary between the Kusilvak Census Area and the Bethel Census Area bisects a complex network of seasonal lakes and ponds. The absence of roads or established settlements reflects the subsistence-based character of the region, where travel is traditionally dictated by the flow of water and the seasonal changes of the tundra. Detailed hydrographic data from the U.S. Geological Survey provides an essential record of this shifting environment at the township level, specifically within the t16n r72w and t16n r71w grid sections.
