USGS Topo · Published 1977About this map
Shishaldin Volcano and the soaring Isanotski Peaks dominate the western portion of this 1949 survey, marking the eastern end of Unimak Island. The map illustrates the vital maritime geography of the Aleutian Islands, where the settlement of False Pass sits at the narrowest point of the passage between the Bering Sea and the Pacific Ocean. This area, within the Aleutian Islands National Wildlife Refuge, shows a landscape defined by volcanic activity and maritime necessity.
