Maps are a helpful tool for planning your visit to the Aleutian Islands WWII National Historic Area. The Historic Area is located on Unalaska and Amaknak Islands, including sites such as the Visitor Center, Fort Schwatka, and Mount Ballyhoo. However, there is much more to explore in the Aleutian Islands. Consider additional site visits to National Historic Landmarks in the Aleutians or the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service's Aleutian Islands WWII National Monument.

Unalaska and Amaknak Islands

The majority of the Aleutian Islands World War II National Historic Area is located on Amaknak Island, which is easily accessible from Unalaska Island and the major town of Dutch Harbor. There are many points of interest in the Historic Area; see the map for more details.

While visiting Unalaska, it is worthwhile to visit local National Historic Landmarks as well as the Aleutian Islands WWII National Historic Area. A U.S. Army National Historic Landmark, Dutch Harbor Naval Operating Base and Fort Mears, includes the entire Amaknak Island with over 140 contributing structures which preserve WWII history. Other National Historic Landmarks on Unalaska, Church of the Holy Ascension and Sitka Spruce Plantation, preserve the history of Russian colonization in the Aleutians.

 

Other Aleutian Islands

The Aleutian Islands WWII National Historic Area is limited to Unalaska and Amakank islands, but history knows no boundaries. Many other historic locations preserving WWII-era landscapes, artifacts, and structures can be found throughout the Aleutians. Consider visiting the additional locations listed on the map below on your trip to the Aleutian Islands.
