1951 Map of Kiska

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Kiska Volcano dominates the northern skyline of this remote volcanic island within the Aleutian Islands National Wildlife Refuge. Situated in the Rat Islands group between the Bering Sea and the Pacific Ocean, the landscape is defined by its strategic maritime geography, most notably the sheltered Kiska Harbor and Gertrude Cove. While the map reflects the island's natural state, small clusters of Cabins near the harbor and Salmon Lagoon mark the limited human presence in this post-war period. The surrounding waters are charted with significant detail, including the nearby Little Kiska Island and the hazardous Mc Arthur Reef. The naming conventions found here, such as Sredni Bight and Reynard Cove, speak to the layered history of North Pacific exploration and the island's role as a critical geographic sentinel.
