1950 Map of False Pass

About this map

Unimak Island and the southwestern edge of the Alaska Peninsula meet at the narrow gateway of the Aleutian Islands in this 1950 coastal survey. The landscape is dominated by the massive profiles of the Shishaldin Volcano, Isanotski Peaks, and Roundtop Mtn, marking a transition from the volcanic heights of the mainland to the scattered maritime hazards of the Pacific Ocean. To the south, the Sanak Islands rise from the Sanak Bank, surrounded by complex navigational features like Sandman Reefs and Fairway Reef.
