About this map

Togiak National Wildlife Refuge and the Togiak Wilderness dominate this interior Alaskan landscape, which was mapped shortly after the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act established these federal reservations. The terrain is defined by the drainage systems of the Togiak River and the Kemuk River, which wind through a high-relief environment anchored by Atshichlut Mountain.

In the northeast, Nenevok Lake sits at the headwaters of the Kemuk, while various tributaries like Gemuk Creek, Kipnuktuli Creek, and the Kamas River carve through the mountains. This map documents a strictly natural landscape without roads or human settlements, providing a precise record of the hydrological and topographical features of the region as they were formally protected in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
