1952 Map of Russian Mission D-2

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Paimiut Slough dominates the northwestern corner of this landscape, carving a winding path through an extensive network of wetlands and seasonal water bodies. Mapped from aerial photography taken in the early 1950s, the terrain represents the complex hydrological environment of the Bethel region before modern shifts in the river systems. The intricate web of smaller, unnamed lakes and marshy lowlands reflects a landscape defined by water and low relief, where travel and subsistence would have been dictated by the seasonal flow of the slough. While largely devoid of named settlements or infrastructure, the detailed mapping of the wetter areas provides a precise record of the natural drainage patterns that have historically shaped this part of the Alaskan interior.
