1963 Map of Chignik A-3

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Chignik Lake sits at the head of a complex drainage system on the Alaska Peninsula, where the W Fk Chignik River and Clark River converge amidst steep glacial topography. This 1963 field-annotated survey reveals a coastline defined by deep indentations, from the protected waters of Ivan Bay and Fishrack Bay in the south to the exposed reaches of Windy Bay further north. The map captures the raw geographical character of the Seward Meridian before modern development, emphasizing the relationship between interior freshwater systems like Home Creek and the tidal inlets of the Pacific coast. High-elevation landmarks such as Bobby and Windy provide reference points for navigating the drainage basins between Foot Bay and the northern gulches. For researchers of Alaskan geography, the map serves as a primary record of the hydrological patterns and named coastal features of the Lake and Peninsula region.
