1951 Map of Kiska

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

Kiska Island dominates this mid-century reconnaissance of the Rat Islands, showing the complex coastline and volcanic interior following the intense activity of the 1940s. The shaded relief highlights the prominence of the Kiska Volcano at the northern end of the island, standing above Sirius Point and the NE Rocks. This survey provides a record of the island's geography as it was understood during the early Cold War era, detailing the sheltered waters of Kiska Harbor and Little Kiska Harbor. Along the southern and western reaches, the map identifies isolated landmarks like Cape St Stephen, Gertrude Cove, and the freshwater basins of West Kiska Lake and East Kiska Lake. The surrounding waters are charted through various passes, including McArthur Pass and Tanadak Pass, which separate the main landmass from smaller satellites like Little Kiska Island and Tanadak Island.
