1951 Map of Rat Islands

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

Amchitka Island stretches across the lower portion of this reconnaissance survey, serving as a focal point for military infrastructure in the Aleutians following the Second World War. A prominent Military Airfield is located near Constantine Harbor at the eastern end of the island, connected by a network of roads and trails to Kirilof Bay and South Bight. This layout reflects the island's strategic importance during the mid-century era, showing the intersection of military logistics and the remote volcanic landscape.
