About this map

Amanka Lake dominates the central landscape of this wilderness survey, situated within the expansive Togiak National Wildlife Refuge. The terrain is characterized by a complex network of waterways, including the meandering Igushik River and the Weary River, which drain the mountainous interior toward the coast. Significant topographical features like Sugtutik Peak rise sharply from the low-lying river basins and swampy plains.

Evidence of human history in this remote region is preserved through labels for Yacherk (Site) and Sparks (Site), marking specific locations of historical significance along the riverbanks. The mapping of Ongoke River and various tributaries such as Longarm Creek and Redleaf Creek provides a detailed look at the hydrology of southwestern Alaska before modern development, reflecting the federal reservation boundaries established by the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act.
