2020 Map of Chignik A-2 SW

About this map

Virgin Peak stands as the primary landmark on this coastal Alaskan terrain, rising above a deeply indented shoreline defined by the waters of Kuiukta Bay. The map documents a landscape where the Pacific meets the Alaska Peninsula in a series of dramatic inlets, including Sweater Bay to the east and the smaller indentations of Foot Bay and Fishhook Bay to the southwest. This 2020 survey illustrates the complex relationship between high relief coastal mountains and the sea, with significant elevation changes occurring immediately at the water's edge. The absence of roads or developed settlements highlights the wild character of the Lake and Peninsula Borough, where maritime features and named summits serve as the primary navigational markers for this remote maritime environment.
