1953 Map of Attu

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Attu Island and Agattu Island represent the westernmost reaches of the Aleutian Islands, shown here as they were surveyed in the decade following World War II. The map details the jagged, mountainous coastline and surrounding waters of the Near Islands group, including the smaller Semichi Islands. Notable features include Massacre Bay, Murder Point, and Alexai Point along Attu’s southern coast, locations that saw intense action during the 1943 Aleutian Islands Campaign. The terrain is defined by steep relief, with numerous survey markers like Vabm 669 dotting the peaks above Chichagof Hbr. To the east, Shemya Island and Alaid Island are captured in their remote isolation within the Bering Sea. This sheet provides a specialized record of the islands within the Aleutian Islands National Wildlife Refuge, reflecting military survey work from 1943–1953.
