1955 Map of Middleton Island B-7
USGS Topo · Published 1986About this map
Middleton Island emerges from the Gulf of Alaska as a isolated outpost of aviation and communication in this mid-century survey. The landscape is defined by its functional infrastructure, centered around a significant Landing Strip and the small settlement of Middleton. Because this map includes data compiled from aerial photographs and maritime charts, it offers a distinct view of the island's navigational role, featuring a Radio Facility, a Light, and a prominent Radio Tower. The presence of several Tanks, an Antenna, and a single Drill Hole offshore indicates a period of technical and exploratory activity on this remote landmass. This document captures the island before minor revisions in the 1980s, preserving the footprint of its cold-war era utility.
