1979 Map of Goodnews Bay B-5

About this map

The Goodnews River drainage system dominates this Alaskan landscape, captured during a 1970s photogrammetric survey. This remote interior region is defined by the convergence of the Middle Fork Goodnews River and the Kukaktlik River, illustrating a complex network of glacial meltwater and tundra streams. In the northeast, Goodnews Lake sits at the base of Ungluayagat Mountain, while Nagyagat Mountain rises in the central portion of the quadrangle. The lack of roads or established settlements on the map underscores the area's wilderness state during the late twentieth century, with the Quigmy River and Awayak Creek providing the primary geographical landmarks across the sprawling marsh and upland terrain.
