2020 Map of Chignik A-3 NW

About this map

Alaska Peninsula terrain dominates this 2020 topographic survey, revealing the remote and unpopulated landscape within the Lake and Peninsula Borough. The map is defined by its dramatic elevation changes and glacial drainage patterns, particularly the headwaters and tributaries of the W Fork Chignik River. This area serves as a critical watershed for the region, where seasonal meltwater flows from high ridges into the Clark River and through deep incisions like Bearskin Gulch. The lack of human infrastructure, roads, or settlements highlights the isolation of this portion of the peninsula, which is primarily partitioned by township and range lines such as t46s r62w and t45s r61w. This detail is useful for understanding the hydrologic connectivity of the Alaskan wilderness before any modern development.
