1963 Map of Chignik B-3

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Black Lake and Chignik Lake anchor this 1963 field-annotated survey of the Alaska Peninsula, revealing a complex hydrological system of glacial runoff and mountain streams. The Alec River meanders through wide marshlands to feed the northern lake, while the West Fork Chignik River creates a prominent drainage corridor through the central valley. Between these large water bodies, the terrain rises sharply toward Range Peak and the surrounding highlands, where dozens of named tributaries like Cathedral Creek, Chiaktuak Creek, and Broad Creek descend through steep canyons. The map effectively documents the transition from lowland swamps and wet areas to high-elevation peaks, providing a clear record of the watershed before more modern developments. Local landmarks such as Cucumber Creek and Bearskin Creek offer specific points of reference for those studying the natural history or geographic nomenclature of this specific Alaskan quadrangle.
