1949 Map of False Pass

About this map

Unimak Island and the western tip of the Alaska Peninsula meet at the strategic waters of Isanotski Strait, where the settlement of False Pass sits as a vital maritime link. This mid-century survey details a landscape dominated by massive volcanic features, including the towering Shishaldin Volcano and Isanotski Peaks, which loom over the Aleutian Islands National Wildlife Refuge. The map provides significant coastal detail for mariners and local historians, tracking the intricate shorelines of Bechevin Bay and Cold Bay.
