2019 Map of Russian Mission A-2 NW

About this map

Discovery Creek flows through the center of this terrain in the Russian Mission A-2 NW quadrangle, carving a path through the interior of the Bethel Census Area. This landscape is primarily defined by its hydrography and elevation, where seasonal drainages like Bear Creek and Discovery Creek shape the drainage patterns between prominent ridge lines. The absence of named settlements, roads, or landing strips on this sheet highlights a pocket of wilderness where surveying is focused on the fundamental physical geography and township boundaries including t13n r58w and t12n r58w. Geologists and researchers can study the intricate contour data and wetland layers to understand the hydrologic relationship between these upland headwaters and the larger watershed systems of Western Alaska.
