1979 Map of Goodnews Bay

About this map

Quinhagak and Platinum anchor the coastal reaches of this southwestern Alaska landscape, where the Kanektok River and Goodnews River drain into the cold waters of Kuskokwim Bay. The terrain is dominated by the massive Ahklun Mountains and Kilbuck Mountains, a wilderness of peaks like Mount Oratia and Mt Waskey. This late-1970s record illustrates the immense scale of protected lands including the Togiak National Wildlife Refuge and the eastern edge of Wood-Tikchik State Park. A network of winter trails and waterways connects remote outposts, while prominent landmarks like Cape Newenham and Island Butte serve as essential navigational markers. The map captures the region's character as a crossroads of river systems, showing the complex drainage of the Togiak River and its numerous glacial lakes, such as Kashaiak Lake and Pungokepuk Lake.
