2020 Map of Chignik C-3 SE

About this map

Black Peak stands as the central high point of this terrain on the Alaska Peninsula, where steep slopes and drainage basins define the northern reaches of the Aleutian Range. The landscape is dominated by a radiating network of glacial and snowmelt-fed streams, including Yellow Bluff Cr in the east and Red Bluff Cr cutting through the central valley. These waterways, along with Charles Cr and Crater Cr, illustrate the complex erosional patterns of the volcanic peaks found here. Higher elevations reveal specialized water bodies such as Purple Lake, positioned in a high basin west of the main peak. The map also records several smaller drainages like Ash Cr, Milk Cr, and Cathedral Cr, which contribute to the larger regional hydrological system in this undeveloped portion of the Lake and Peninsula Borough.
