2019 Map of Naknek B-5 NE

About this map

Kvichak Bay dominates the northwest corner of this coastal landscape in the Lake and Peninsula Borough. The terrain is defined by a dense network of small ponds and unnamed water bodies typical of this Alaskan tundra region. In the eastern half of the map, Big Creek winds southward through the low-lying wetlands, eventually crossing through Township 20 South and into Township 21 South. This 2019 survey, produced by the U.S. Geological Survey using data from 1899 through 2018, offers a clear view of the natural drainage patterns and topographical contours at the edge of the bay. The lack of named roads or settlements highlights the isolation of this environment, where the shifting hydrology of Big Creek and the tidal influence of the bay are the primary landmarks for navigators and researchers.
