2020 Map of Goodnews Bay D-5 SW

About this map

The Kanektok River dominates the eastern drainage of this Bethel Census Area landscape, winding through a complex system of glacial valleys and ridges. To the west, the Olunguivlute River flows southward, defining the boundary of a significant topographic divide. This 2020 edition from the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates a wilderness defined by its hydrology, where tributary systems like Sun Cr and Sam Cr carve into the high ground. The map captures the intricate drainage patterns of the Klak Creek and Nakulinguk Cr as they feed into the larger river systems. With no roads or permanent settlements recorded on this sheet, the focus remains entirely on the natural landforms and the precise Public Land Survey System township and range lines, such as t4s r67w and t3s r66w, which impose a geometric order on the otherwise winding river corridors.
