Did they ever even mention the Beta Quadrant in Voyager?

It seems like for simplicity's sake, they just made it like the Alpha Quadrant was slap up against the Delta Quadrant. Since they weren't going through the galactic center, they would have had to gone through part of the BQ to get back home to the Alpha Quadrant. And shouldn't the Message in a Bottle where the doctor was transported to that experimental Starfleet ship have been in the Beta Quadrant? It was probably just to avoid confusion by throwing another quadrant in the mix, but it ended up making it kind of confusing if one already knows the galaxy quadrant map.

The beta quadrant isn't addressed in Trek at all. There's been analysis that the Federation is primarily alpha but not entirely etc.

I think really I've learnt as I get older that Starfleet is Earth. American Earth. And when they say Alpha Quadrant they mean Earth. I mean even the finale... it's Earth.

Also @Laura Cynthia Chambers that is a cool resource!

That's a pretty cool search device. I may have not expressed my intent entirely clearly though. I only meant that they ignored the Beta Quad in terms of their journey home, not that they eliminated it all mention of it together. I don't have the necessary experience to edit my posts yet, so it must remain confusingly worded for now. Excelsior!

This existing thread may be what you're after.

Is this an accurate map of the path Voyager has taken?

I was having trouble keeping track of where Voyager was, it probably didn't help that I was also watching Deep Space 9. Hearing Alpha, Delta, and Gamma over and over without context confused me so I went looking for a map and found this one on the forums that was easy to read. My question is if...

After three years I've concluded my first assignment as master of this vessel, cataloguing gaseous planetary anomalies in the Beta Quadrant. We're heading home under full impulse power.
