1963 Map of Chignik B-1

About this map

Cape Kumliun and Weasel Mountain dominate the northern peninsula of this coastal Alaska survey, defining a jagged shoreline shaped by deep inlets and narrow points. This mid-century study by the U.S. Geological Survey depicts the complex hydrography of the region, where the expansive Chignik Bay meets smaller, protected waters like Hook Bay and Lumber Bay. The map relies on 1957 aerial photography and 1963 field annotations to trace the uninhabited terrain, showing no roads or trails through the mountains.
