1958 Map of Unimak

About this map

Shishaldin Volcano and the massive Fisher Caldera dominate the center of Unimak Island, the largest of the Aleutian chain shown in this mid-century coastal survey. This maritime landscape is defined by its active geology and critical navigational points, from the Cape Sarichef Lighthouse on the western shore to the prominent Scotch Cap at the entrance to Unimak Pass. The map highlights the early 20th-century economic footprint in the Fox Islands, specifically the Whaling Sta on Akutan Island and scattered coastal Cabin locations. These isolated outposts sit within the vast Aleutian Islands National Wildlife Refuge, where the terrain transitions from the heights of the Tugamak Range down to the coastal waters of Urilia Bay and Christianson Lagoon.
