1979 Map of Goodnews Bay B-2

About this map

Togiak River drainage systems dominate this late-1970s landscape in southwest Alaska, revealing a complex network of glacial valleys and alpine basins. The topographical data, compiled from mid-decade aerial photography, captures a terrain defined by its intricate hydrology rather than human settlement. The Ongivinuck River and the curiously named No Lake Creek wind through deep mountain passes, illustrating the natural drainage patterns that have shaped this roadless region for millennia. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the Kulukak River and Ongoke River gather from numerous unnamed tributaries, highlighting the density of the freshwater network. This survey remains an essential reference for understanding the landforms of the Dillingham area before subsequent environmental shifts, providing a precise record of watercourses and elevation contours across this uninhabited wilderness.
