1963 Map of Chignik B-2

About this map

The coastal fishing and aviation hub of Chignik serves as the focal point of this coastal Alaska survey, detailing a landscape defined by the tidal reaches of Chignik Lagoon and the sheltered waters of Anchorage Bay. The map reveals a remote maritime economy at mid-century, where a Cannery and Seaplane Base underscore the region's reliance on both the sea and the air for transit and industry. Beyond the main settlement, several Cabins are scattered along the rugged coastline and inland valleys, suggesting a spread of seasonal fishing or trapping activity.
