1963 Map of Chignik C-3

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Black Peak anchors the mountainous southern terrain of this remote Aleutian Range landscape, captured during aerial photography missions in the late 1950s and early 1960s. The topography is defined by a complex drainage system where Charles Creek and Red Bluff Creek flow through deeply incised valleys before reaching the low-lying northern coastal plains. This map illustrates a transition from the volcanic heights of the interior to the marshy flats near the coast, notably featuring the distinctive Purple Lake and the glacially-fed waters of Milk Creek. The absence of roads or permanent settlements underscores the wilderness character of the Alaska Peninsula during this era, making it an essential reference for understanding the natural drainage patterns of Crater Creek and Yellow Bluff Creek in their undisturbed state.
