2019 Map of Sleetmute B-4 SE

About this map

The Holitna River meanders through this portion of the Bethel Census Area, defining the eastern landscape with its complex braids and oxbow formations. To the west, the Kulukbuk Hills rise as a prominent topographic feature, providing a stark contrast to the low-lying river valley. In the northern reaches of the quadrangle, the Itulilik Cr cuts through the terrain, contributing to the drainage network that feeds the larger river system. This map captures a remote stretch of the Alaska interior, where the relationship between the rising upland slopes and the shifting river channels dictates the character of the land. The absence of roads or permanent settlements emphasizes the wilderness state of the region during this 2019 survey, focusing instead on the natural geographic boundaries of the t14n r44w and t15n r45w townships.
