2020 Map of Chignik D-1 NE

About this map

Aniakchak Crater dominates this 2020 survey, revealing the dramatic topography within the Aniakchak National Monument. The basin floor is marked by volcanic features like Vent Mtn and the waters of Surprise Lake, which feeds the Aniakchak River. The river's path through the caldera wall is defined by The Gates, a narrow breach that allows the Aniakchak Wild and Scenic River to flow southeast toward the coast. This map illustrates the intersection of geological activity and hydrography, where the sheer walls of the crater meet landmarks like Black Nose. The lack of human infrastructure highlights the primitive state of this landscape, preserved for its unique volcanic and riparian systems.
