1963 Map of Chignik C-2

About this map

Meshik River dominates the northern reaches of this landscape, its waters winding through a complex system of marshes and smaller tributaries. Near a bend in the main channel, Scottys Island and a cluster of Cabins suggest a focal point for seasonal or subsistence activity in this wilderness. The terrain shifts dramatically to the south, rising toward the prominent heights of Big Butte and the dramatic topography of Cathedral Cr. This area is defined by its drainage patterns, with appropriately named features like Braided Creek and Landlocked Creek illustrating the hydrologic character of the peninsula. Along the southern edge, Thompson Val provides a level break among the steeper slopes, marking a transition between the coastal lowlands and the interior highlands.
