1963 Map of Chignik D-2

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Port Heiden Airfield stands as a focal point of infrastructure on the Alaska Peninsula during this 1963 field-annotated survey. The landscape is defined by the expansive coastal interface of Port Heiden and the winding Meshik River, which drains into the bay from the south. The mapping reveals a network of water bodies such as Hendrickson Lake and Sven Lake, set against a backdrop of complex drainage systems including Barabara Creek and Birthday Creek. Evidence of mid-century technical installations is visible through the presence of a Beacon and Radio Towers near the coast. The terrain transitions from these low-lying marshy areas and gravel pits to the higher elevations marked by the Witch landmark, illustrating the varied geography of the Chignik region before subsequent decades of environmental change.
