2020 Map of Chignik C-5 SW

About this map

Bristol Bay defines the northern coastline of this remote coastal landscape, where the tides meet a network of low-lying wetlands and wandering waterways. The Alaska Peninsula terrain here is characterized by the complex drainage of the Ilnik River, which winds from Ilnik Lake toward the sea, joined by smaller tributaries like Fog Cr. This 2020 survey documents a transition zone between the Aleutians East Borough and Lake and Peninsula Borough, providing a snapshot of the region's hydrography and jurisdictional boundaries before any modern industrial footprint. The map captures the raw intersection of freshwater systems and the saltwater coast, where the shifting sands and seasonal water levels dictate the movement across the tundra.
