1951 Map of Goodnews

About this map

The Kuskokwim Bay and Togiak Bay coastlines define this mid-century survey of southwest Alaska, revealing a landscape of complex tidal inlets and high mountain ranges. Along the northern reaches of the Kanertok River, the settlement of Kwinhagak serves as a primary coastal anchor, while the southern Goodnews Bay features the namesake village of Goodnews near Mumtrak Hill. This era of mapping documents the transition of indigenous and early commercial sites, noting Togiak (Aban'd) and Gechial (Aban'd) alongside active locations like Togiak Village and Kashiagamiut.
