1949 Map of Fort Randall

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Fort Randall and its adjacent Air Force Base anchor the southern tip of the Alaska Peninsula in this mid-century survey. The landscape is defined by the heavy maritime influence of the Bering Sea and Cold Bay, which separate the rugged volcanic peaks from the surrounding islands. Coastal life centers on small outposts like Belkofski and King Cove, while an abandoned cannery near Morzhovoi Bay points to the area's industrial history in the fishing trade. The interior is dominated by striking geological formations such as the Aghileen Pinnacles, Frosty Peak, and Mt Emmons. This 1949 compilation, based on 1942 and 1943 aerial photography, provides a clear view of the region's strategic military importance and its natural isolation before the development of modern infrastructure in the Aleutians East region.
