2019 Map of Sleetmute D-1 NE

About this map

Tatlawiksuk River meanders across the central and northern reaches of this Bethel Census Area landscape, defining a complex network of wetlands and oxbows. The terrain is characterized by a high concentration of small lakes and marshes, typical of the low-lying regions within the t22n r37w and t21n r37w townships. In the southern portion of the sheet, the Swift River cuts through the landscape, offering a parallel drainage system that flows through dense wetland patches. The absence of roads or established settlements on the map underscores the isolation of this riverine environment, where the natural hydrography of the Tatlawiksuk River remains the primary geographic feature. This 2019 survey provides a precise modern record of watercourses and land divisions in a region defined by its seasonal shift between water and land.
