1954 Map of Goodnews C-2

About this map

Togiak Lake dominates this mid-century landscape in the Ahklun Mountains region, serving as the central basin for a complex system of glacial and mountain streams. The water network is defined by the Izavieknik R entering from the north and the wide Togiak River draining the lake's southern end. This 1954 field-annotated map reveals a roadless wilderness where the geography is recorded through natural landmarks like the prominent North Spit and Pistuk Peak. Local drainage patterns are exceptionally detailed, showing numerous tributaries such as Kiyukluk Creek, Bruin Creek, and Jondik Creek feeding into the main lake and the West Togiak Lake sub-basin. The survey reflects a period before modern development, capturing the hydrologic character of the Togiak National Wildlife Refuge area in its undeveloped state, as documented by the Army Map Service and the Geological Survey.
