2019 Map of Goodnews Bay D-3 NW

About this map

The Ouchklune Range dominates this corner of the Alaska wilderness, where the high peaks of Mt Oratia and Outuchiwenat Mtn rise above a complex network of glacial valleys. This 2019 survey documents the headwaters and drainage patterns of the Eek River, which winds through the northern sections of the map. To the south, the terrain descends toward large freshwater bodies, including the northern portions of Kagati Lake and the smaller Pegati Lake. The map illustrates the boundary between the Bethel Census Area and Dillingham Census Area, highlighting the remote nature of this region. The lack of roads or established settlements emphasizes the reliance on natural waterways like Armugiak Cr for movement through the interior during this era.
