1954 Map of Goodnews Bay A-8

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

Platinum anchors the southern reaches of this coastal landscape, situated near the narrow entrance where Goodnews Bay meets the larger waters of Kuskokwim Bay. In the mid-1950s, this remote region was defined by its dual maritime and inland transportation networks, featuring the Winter Trail skirting the coastline and a Native Trail cutting through the highlands. The geography is characterized by dramatic elevation changes, from the tidal flats of Carter Bay and the expanse of Nanvakfak Lake to the towering peaks of Kigtsugtag Mountain and Limestone Ridge. These features indicate a terrain where movement was dictated by the seasons and the available water routes, with inland access points like Smalls River and the Kielapak Mountains framing the bay's complex shoreline.
