1951 Map of Unimak

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

Unimak Island and the Krenitzin Islands stand as the gateway between the Pacific Ocean and the Bering Sea in this 1951 reconnaissance. The landscape is dominated by massive volcanic features like the Pogromni Volcano and the expansive Fisher Caldera, surrounded by the Unimak National Wildlife Refuge. Coastal life is centered on the maritime economy of the mid-century, specifically at the Whaling Sta in Akutan Harbor and the remote outpost at Akutan. Navigational landmarks are critical in these treacherous waters, with the Lighthouse at Cape Sarichef and the station at Scotch Cap marking the crucial Unimak Pass. The survey captures the transition between the rugged Tugamak Range and the coastal lowlands of Urilia Bay, providing a rare view of the islands' terrain before modern developments.
