1954 Map of Goodnews A-8

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Platinum anchors the southern edge of this mid-century survey, situated on the coastal plains between the Kuskokwim Bay and Goodnews Bay. The settlement is supported by a local Airfield and an extensive Winter Trail network that cuts across the tundra and tidal flats. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the massive Nanvakfak Lake to the mountainous interior, where Rigtsugtag Mountain and Limestone Ridge rise abruptly from the river lowlands. Along the coast, North Spit and South Spit nearly enclose the entrance to the bay, creating a protected harbor for the region. The map captures the industrial and transport infrastructure of this remote mining district, including various Trails that connect the coast to inland water bodies like Carter Creek and the Smalls River.
