1979 Map of Goodnews Bay C-3

About this map

Togiak River drainage dominates the southeastern reaches of this remote landscape, where the confluence of several major waterways defines the natural transport corridors of the region. Steep terrain rises sharply from the riverbanks toward peaks like Atshichlut Mountain, while the northern portion of the map is marked by the presence of Nenevok Lake. The network of Gemuk Creek and the Kemuk River creates an intricate system of tributaries that transition from high mountain runoff into the broader valley floors. This 1970s survey, compiled from aerial photography taken in 1973, captures the unmodified hydrology of the area before modern infrastructure arrived. Researchers studying the traditional land use of the Dillingham region can trace the natural paths of Kipnuktuli Creek and other waterways that have historically served as the primary means of movement through this wilderness.
