1979 Map of Goodnews Bay D-2

About this map

The Izavieknik River drainage defines this Alaskan landscape, connecting high-altitude waters in a region of significant elevation change. This 1970s survey captures the untouched glacial topography between High Lake and the northern reaches of Upper Togiak Lake. The lack of permanent settlements or modern road infrastructure is notable; the only sign of human passage is a single marked Trail that follows the valley floor of Trail Creek, crossing the central portion of the quadrangle. This interior wilderness represents a period when mapping relied on photogrammetric methods from 1973 aerial photography to delineate the complex drainages and swampy lowlands of the Togiak region before modern development or intensive recreational use.
