1951 Map of Unimak

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Akutan serves as the primary human footprint on this mid-century survey of the eastern Aleutian chain, situated where the Bering Sea meets the Pacific Ocean. The map documents a landscape dominated by volcanic activity and maritime necessity, featuring the massive Pogromni Volcano and the Fisher Caldera within the Unimak Wilderness. Crucial navigational aids for the treacherous North Pacific waters are noted, including the Scotch Cap Light, Akutan Pt Light, and the Cape Sarichef Lighthouse. The area's specialized infrastructure is visible through the Seaplane Anchorage at Akutan Harbor and a remote Landing Strip on Unimak. Beyond the volcanic peaks like Akutan Peak and Eichelberg Peak, the survey captures the complex coastline of islands such as Akun Island and Avatanak Island, marked by numerous bights, coves, and the geothermal presence at Hot Springs Bay.
