2019 Map of Dillingham D-7 NE

About this map

Tikchik Lake dominates this 2019 survey, representing the intricate freshwater systems of the Dillingham Census Area in Southwest Alaska. The transition from the Tikchik River into the massive lake basin reveals a landscape where high-relief ridges alternate with expansive glacial waters. The topography here is defined by significant elevation changes, with contours marking several prominent unnamed peaks that overlook the western and southern shores. These features are situated within the Public Land Survey System grids of t2s r53w and t3s r53w, illustrating the remote and largely undeveloped nature of this region. The map provides a detailed view of the natural hydrology and terrain before the influence of significant permanent human infrastructure, making it a critical record for understanding the original topography of this wilderness area.
