1951 Map of Amukta

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Yunaska Island and the neighboring peaks of the Islands of the Four Mountains rise from the volatile intersection of the Bering Sea and the Pacific Ocean. Compiled from surveys conducted between 1933 and 1943, this chart documents the isolated volcanic landmasses of the Aleutian chain before mid-century. While largely uninhabited, the presence of a cabin near Crater Anchorage on Yunaska Island indicates a human footprint in an otherwise maritime landscape. Navigation and shelter are critical themes, evidenced by the identification of Traders Cove on Amukta Island and South Anchorage. The map details the treacherous waterways between the islands, including Amukta Pass and Chagulak Pass, serving as a vital record of this remote maritime frontier during the early years of the Cold War era.
