About this map

Middleton Island stands as a lonely outpost in the Gulf of Alaska, centered in this mid-century navigational and topographic record. This survey illustrates the isolation of the island, noted for its Landing field, which served as a critical waypoint for aviators navigating the northern Pacific Ocean. To the northeast, the jagged coastline of Kayak Island and the southern edge of the Chugach National Forest provide a sharp contrast to the open water, marked by dangerous maritime hazards such as Wessels Reef and Fountain Rock.
