2019 Map of Sleetmute D-1 SE

About this map

The Swift River cuts across the northern reaches of this Alaskan interior landscape, winding through a complex system of marshes and low-lying wetlands. Recorded in 2019, the map reveals a terrain where water and land are in constant flux, dominated by the intricate drainage patterns that feed into the river system. The vast wetland network suggests a seasonally dynamic environment, where the lack of established roads or permanent settlements emphasizes the dominance of natural hydrology over human infrastructure. This survey provides a baseline of the regional topography, showing how the river channel navigates through the township boundaries of t21n r38w and t21n r37w. For those studying the hydrography of the Bethel Census Area, the map offers a detailed view of the unnamed ponds and saturated flats that characterize this portion of the Sleetmute quadrangle.
