2019 Map of Sleetmute C-3 SE

About this map

Big Lake dominates the northern landscape of this Bethel Census Area quadrangle, serving as a primary focal point within a complex network of wetlands and tundra. The southern reaches are defined by the winding course of the Hoholitna River, which cuts through the southwestern corner near Elutuli Cr. This 2019 survey illustrates the dense hydrography characteristic of the region, where braided waterways like Basket Cr meander through the central plains. The map provides a detailed view of the natural drainage patterns and topographical contours that dictate the geography of this Alaskan interior, capturing the relationship between the larger lake systems and the tributary creeks that feed the river basin. It is a fundamental resource for understanding the water-locked character of the terrain before any significant human development or infrastructure was established in this specific township and range block.
