1979 Map of Goodnews Bay C-5

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

The Kanektok River and its tributary, the Ovenagwilte River, dominate the northern reaches of this landscape, carving through a region defined by complex drainage patterns and prominent peaks. To the south, the terrain rises toward Tuntunguak Mountain, overlooking a network of alpine waters including Awayak Lake and Nimgun Lake. This 1979 edition reflects a wild, roadless interior where the naming of features like Nuklugaluk Creek and Awayak Creek suggests a reliance on traditional water routes for navigation. The presence of Goodnews Lake and the upper reaches of the Goodnews R in the southeast corner provides a detailed look at the headwaters that feed into the larger bay system, capturing a moment when much of this territory remained unsurveyed on the ground, with land lines predetermined by the Bureau of Land Management.
