1963 Map of Chignik A-6

About this map

Sandy Lake dominates the western portion of this 1963 Alaskan survey, serving as the headwater for the Sandy River as it winds toward the east. This landscape, captured through aerial photography from 1957 and 1962, reflects the drainage patterns of the Aleutians East region. The Muddy River flows through the northern reaches of the quadrangle, while the southern terrain is defined by the course of the Milky River. The map provides a clear look at the glacial and volcanic topography of the area during the early 1960s, prior to significant modern development. Land lines on this sheet represent unsurveyed locations predetermined by the Bureau of Land Management, highlighting the remote and wild nature of the territory at the time of the field annotation.
