1950 Map of Fort Randall

USGS Topo · Published 1950

About this map

Thornbrough Air Force Base and the adjacent military installation at Fort Randall anchor this mid-century survey of the western Alaska Peninsula. Located at the head of Cold Bay, these facilities reflect the strategic importance of the region following World War II, complete with a designated Landing Strip and multiple radio towers. The landscape transitions from the volcanic heights of Frosty Peak and the Aghileen Pinnacles to a complex coastline of lagoons and coves. Local industry and settlement are represented by the fishing hub at King Cove, the village of Belkofski, and a Cannery (Abandoned) on the shores of Morzhovoi Bay. Further west, the map reaches across Bechevin Bay to the eastern tip of Unimak Island, illustrating the maritime routes and navigational aids like the Sealion Rocks Light that connected these remote coastal outposts.
