2019 Map of Russian Mission C-1 NE

About this map

Russian Mountains dominate the western landscape of this interior Alaskan quadrangle, providing a rugged backdrop to a series of high-latitude waterways. The terrain is defined by the headwaters and drainages of Cobalt Cr, which flows north through central valleys, and Suter Cr in the northeast. In the south, the upper reaches of Mission Cr navigate the steep elevation changes characteristic of the Russian Mountains foothills. This 2019 survey, produced from data including 2010 SPOT imagery and 2019 elevation datasets, illustrates the complex relief of the Bethel Census Area where surveyed township lines like t19n r55w and t18n r54w cross undeveloped wilderness. The map serves as a primary record of drainage patterns and high-relief topography in a region defined by its natural hydrology rather than human infrastructure.
