1963 Map of Chignik A-7

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Sandy River and the Bear River drainage systems define this landscape in the Aleutians East region of Alaska. The map reflects a mid-century remote wilderness where transport was dictated by water and air, evidenced by the presence of the Sandy River Landing Strip and the Cabin Landing Area on the shores of Bear Lake. Small-scale industrial exploration is marked by a solitary Drill Hole north of the river, while a lone Cabin near Sandy Lake suggests isolated seasonal habitation or subsistence use. The network of braided streams, including the Milky River, flows through land that remained largely unsurveyed and unmarked at the time of mapping, as noted by the Bureau of Land Management. The terrain transitions from these wide river valleys toward the peak of Ankara, capturing the untouched character of the peninsula before modern development.
