About this map

The Kuskokwim River flows along the southeastern corner of this region, serving as a primary waterway through the marshy lowlands of southwestern Alaska. The landscape is characterized by a complex network of wetlands and small lakes, typical of the river delta environment in the Bethel Census Area. The Gweek River winds through the northern portion of the quadrangle, illustrating the intricate hydrography of the Tundra. This 2017 survey provides a detailed snapshot of the shifting water patterns and land divisions within t12n r67w and t11n r67w, where the lack of permanent roads or settlements highlights the isolation of this river-bound terrain. For researchers, the map documents the precise state of these vital waterways and the surrounding public land survey system divisions in the early 21st century.
