2017 Map of Goodnews Bay A-7 NW

About this map

Goodnews Bay sits at the southwestern edge of this landscape, where the tides of the Pacific Ocean meet a complex network of freshwater drainage. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Tunulik River, which snakes across the central tundra, and the Goodnews River systems to the east. These waterways are flanked by prominent elevations such as Mumtrak Hill and the Kislapak Mountains, which provide clear landmarks in an otherwise saturated coastal environment. The mapping reveals a transitional wilderness where the Middle Fork Goodnews River and the S Fork Indian River carve through the foothills of peaks like Explorer Mtn and Chawekat Mtn. This intersection of high ground and river valleys reflects the traditional travel corridors and seasonal grounds used throughout the Bethel region.
