2019 Map of Goodnews Bay B-1 NW

About this map

The Wood River Mountains dominate this high-latitude terrain, where steep-sided ridges and deep drainage basins define the northern wilderness of the Dillingham Census Area. The map highlights a complex hydrological network where seasonal flows and permanent streams like Sunshine Creek and Gorge Cr carve through the elevation. The southern portion of the sheet is characterized by the meandering path of the Weary River, which collects runoff from several smaller tributaries including Killian Cr. Unlike many lower-latitude surveys, this area is entirely devoid of named settlements, roads, or man-made structures, reflecting its status as a remote landscape primarily managed by the U.S. Geological Survey for topographic and environmental documentation rather than urban development. The presence of Public Land Survey System township markers, such as t8s r59w and t9s r59w, provides the primary framework for navigating this roadless interior.
