1953 Map of Attu

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Attu and the surrounding islands stand as the westernmost point of the Aleutian chain, captured here through surveys conducted between 1943 and 1953. The landscape is dominated by the Wrangell Range and Attu Mountain, where the aftermath of World War II is evident in the presence of Navy Town and the strategic positioning of coastal infrastructure around Massacre Bay and Holtz Bay. These settlements and maritime labels reflect a period when the island was a vital military outpost and weather station in the North Pacific.
