1963 Map of Chignik B-3

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Black Lake and the winding Alec River dominate this 1963 survey of the Alaska Peninsula, showing a landscape defined by complex hydrology and glaciated peaks. The map details the transition from the expansive waters of the north down through the Chignik River system toward Chignik Lake. Notable terrain features such as Bearskin Gl and the prominent Range Peak provide reference points for the numerous drainages like Cathedral Creek and Chiaktuak Creek that feed into the central basin. This topography, mapped from 1962 aerial photography, documents the undisturbed natural state of this region before any significant human infrastructure. The intricate network of alluvial fans and marshy reaches near the West Fork illustrates the dynamic nature of the peninsula's interior waterways during the early 1960s.
