1954 Map of Goodnews C-2

About this map

Togiak Lake dominates this 1950s landscape, serving as the central drainage basin for a network of glacial valleys and alpine peaks. The survey, field annotated in 1954, reveals a topography defined by steep elevations like Pistuk Peak and the established survey point at Buzzard Azimuth. Water is the primary sculptor of the region, with Kiyukluk Creek feeding into the main lake body from the west. To the south, the system transitions into the headwaters of the Togiak River, which is joined by the Ongivinuk River. This map captures a remote Alaskan wilderness before significant modern infrastructure, showing the natural hydrologic connections that have historically dictated movement and subsistence in the Dillingham region.
