About this map

Chignik Bay dominates this coastal survey, where the maritime landscape of the Alaska Peninsula is defined by deep inlets and sharp topographical relief. To the north, Weasel Mountain rises abruptly above the shoreline near Hook Bay, with a small cluster of Cabins providing a rare sign of human habitation in this isolated environment. This area serves as a primary point of reference for the northern coast, while Cape Kumliun marks the northeastern entrance to the greater bay.

Further south, the coastline is segmented by a series of smaller bays, including Lumber Bay, Lake Bay, and Jack Bay. These waters are sheltered by landforms such as Jack Point and Anguvik Island, which sit at the confluence of Chignik Bay and Castle Bay. The map provides detailed soundings and contour data, illustrating the transition from the mountainous interior to the complex seafloor of these glacial-carved inlets.
