2017 Map of Goodnews Bay D-6 SW

About this map

The Kanektok River dominates this landscape in the Bethel Census Area of southwest Alaska, winding through the center of the terrain as it flows toward the coast. This 2017 survey reflects the remote character of the region, where the hydrology is the primary defining feature of the land. The river’s path, documented through data from the National Hydrography Dataset, demonstrates the dynamic nature of this subarctic waterway as it carves through the undulating topography. Without established roads or settlements, the map provides a focused view of the wilderness within the Public Land Survey System township and range grid, specifically covering portions of T3S through T5S. The absence of human infrastructure highlights the area's preservation and the natural drainage patterns of the river system.
