2019 Map of Taylor Mountains B-8 SW

About this map

Upnuk Lake and Chikuminuk Lake dominate this glacial-carved landscape within the Wood-Tikchik region of Southwest Alaska. The map illustrates a section of the Taylor Mountains where steep, high-elevation ridges transition into the expansive basins that hold these large water bodies. Surveyed by the U.S. Geological Survey, the terrain is defined by its dramatic relief and the intricate drainage patterns feeding into the lake systems. The absence of roads or permanent settlements highlights the wilderness character of the Dillingham Census Area, where the land is primarily organized by the Public Land Survey System grid, including segments of t3n r56w and t2n r55w. This document provides a meticulous record of the shoreline geometry and elevation contours that shaped the region's hydrography in the early twenty-first century.
