2020 Map of Goodnews Bay A-5 NE

About this map

The Ahklun Mountains dominate this 2020 landscape in Southwest Alaska, rising sharply from the surrounding river valleys. The drainage system of the Matogak River carves through the western reaches of the quadrangle, while the Quigmy River flows through the southeastern portion. These waterways represent the primary geographic markers in a region defined by its lack of human-made infrastructure or settlements. The small Sulutuk Cr winds through the central terrain, bridging the divide between these larger river systems. The map illustrates a transitional subarctic environment where high-relief mountain ridges give way to expansive wetland systems and braided stream networks. For those studying the hydrology of the Dillingham Census Area, the map provides precise documentation of the relationship between these alpine elevations and the resulting drainage patterns.
