About this map

Goodnews Bay serves as a vital coastal anchor for this Bethel Census Area landscape, where the Goodnews River and its South Fork meander through expansive lowlands before reaching the Pacific. The settlement at Goodnews Bay is supported by local infrastructure including the Goodnews Airport, Landfill Access Road, and Airport Access Road. The terrain rises sharply from the coastal marshes into a series of prominent peaks, including Flat Mtn, Puyulik Mtn, and the distinctive Crater Hill.

Drainage systems like Puyulik Cr and Ukfigag Cr carve through the foothills of the high country, which is dominated by the summits of Knight Mtn and Pyramid Mtn. Further south, the Smalls River flows through the township of t13s r74w, illustrating the transition from tidal flats to the interior mountains. This survey details the critical relationship between the small coastal community and the complex hydrology of the surrounding Alaskan wilderness.
