2017 Map of Goodnews Bay D-8 SE

About this map

The Kanektok River meanders across this subarctic landscape in the Bethel Census Area, creating a complex network of braids and oxbows through the low-lying terrain. This 2017 survey reveals the intricate hydrology of the region, where the river serves as the dominant geographical feature, flanked by the winding Oyak Cr to the north and the expansive Ithagsutlek Lake in the southwest corner. The land is defined by a dense mosaic of wetlands and small water bodies, characteristic of the Alaskan coastal plain. To the north, the S Br Warehouse Cr drains toward the coast, illustrating the subtle topographical shifts that dictate the flow of water across these vast townships. This map provides an essential baseline for understanding the fluid nature of the river systems in this portion of the Goodnews Bay region.
