About this map

Swift Creek defines the hydrography of this wilderness region, meandering through the landscape as it drains the northern slopes. The terrain is characterized by dramatic elevation changes, with ridges rising steeply between the creek beds and the surrounding valleys. This 2019 survey documents the intricate drainage patterns of the Sawpit Creek area within the t12n r57w and t13n r56w townships. The absence of roads or permanent structures on the sheet underscores the remote nature of this part of the Bethel Census Area, where the topography remains dictated by the natural flow of water and the underlying geology of the Alaskan interior.
