1951 Map of Rat Islands

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Amchitka Island dominates this mid-century survey of the Rat Islands, showing the archipelago's strategic and natural character during the post-war era. Located within the Aleutian Islands National Wildlife Refuge, the map details a landscape where military infrastructure meets the isolated geography of the Bering Sea. The presence of the Military Airport and a Quarry near Constantine Harbor indicates the island's role as a cold-war outpost, while the interior remains defined by the complex topography of Amchitka.
