1957 Map of Adak

About this map

Adak Naval Station and the township of Adak serve as the primary focus on this mid-century survey of the central Andreanof Islands. Situated between the Bering Sea and the Pacific Ocean, the landscape is defined by its volcanic geology and strategic maritime location. The towering Kanaga Volcano dominates Kanaga Island to the west, while Mount Moffett and Mount Adagdak anchor the northern reaches of Adak. The complex coastline is marked by deep-water harbors such as Sweeper Cove and Finger Bay, which supported the military infrastructure of the era.
