1963 Map of Chignik C-5

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Bristol Bay defines the northwestern reaches of this 1963 coastal survey, where a string of barrier formations known as the Seal Islands protects a complex network of lagoons and marshes. The small settlement of Ilnik is situated where the Ilnik Lake and the Ilnik River meet the coast, illustrating the vital connection between freshwater drainage and the sea in this part of the Alaska Peninsula. Extensive Tidal Flats dominate the shoreline, particularly around the Seal Islands, indicating a landscape shaped by extreme tidal shifts. Moving inland, the map records the meandering path of Fog Creek through a marshy plain dotted with small ponds and markers such as Snipe and Chief. The inclusion of an isolated Cabin along the coast reflects the sparse but essential human presence in a region driven by seasonal fishing and subsistence.
