1963 Map of Chignik D-3

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Meshik and its surrounding coastal landscape are defined by the expansive tidal flats of Port Heiden and the open waters of Bristol Bay. This 1963 field-annotated survey reveals a complex network of wetlands and braided streams, including Charles Creek and Yellow Bluff Creek, which feed into the bay across vast areas of mud. The small settlement at Meshik is documented alongside its local cemetery and a nearby gravel pit, indicating the essential infrastructure of this remote shoreline during the early 1960s. Landmarks like the Meshik Az Mark and Heiden NW Base reflect the surveying efforts of the era, while named features such as Chistiakof Island and Strogonof Pt provide navigational context for the surrounding bay.
