1951 Map of Rat Islands

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Amchitka Island and its neighbors in the Rat Islands chain appear here during a period of significant strategic utility. Based on surveys from 1943 to 1949, this topographic record details the remote geography of the western Aleutian Islands, showing the complex volcanic terrain of Semisopochnoi Island with peaks like Mt Cerberus and Anvil Pk. The southern reach of Amchitka Island is marked by specialized infrastructure, including Military Airports and a Quarry, remnants of the region's importance during and after the Second World War.
