About this map

Aleutian Islands and the waters of the Bering Sea define this mid-century reconnaissance of the central island chain. The survey depicts the volcanic archipelago as it appeared between 1933 and 1943, within the boundaries of the Aleutian Islands National Wildlife Refuge. The isolated Yunaska Island is shown with topographic detail, featuring landform markers like Bold, Knob, and Easy 229, as well as several coastal entry points including Crater Anchorage and South Anchorage.

A solitary Cabin on the northern coast of Yunaska Island serves as one of the few indicators of human activity in this remote maritime environment. Further east, the Islands of the Four Mountains rise from the sea, including the distinct landmasses of Herbert Island and Carlisle Island. Nautical hazards and shelter points are documented throughout Amukta Pass, providing essential data for navigation during the postwar era.
