1952 Map of Attu

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

Attu Island and the neighboring Near Islands appear here in a compilation reflecting the strategic military importance of the Aleutian chain during and after the 1940s. The presence of Navy Town near Massacre Bay underscores the area's role as a critical North Pacific outpost. The landscape is dominated by high-relief features like Attu Mountain and the Wrangell Range, while numerous ridges including Theodore Ridge and Henderson Ridge divide the island's interior. To the east and south, the Semichi Islands and the large Agattu Island are charted with significant hydrographic detail, including Chichagof Harbor and Holtz Bay. These locations were central to the only land battle of the Pacific war fought on North American soil, though this mid-century survey focuses on the physical geography and established maritime infrastructure that remained.
